Kwantu Private Game Reserve

The Kwantu Private Game Reserve covers over 10,000 acres of land near Sidbury, SA. It is home to many indigenous and imported animals.

Kwantu means 'gathering place' and with South African natives, people gather around a fire. All around the reserve various fires burn welcoming people to gather and enjoy.

Our visit began with a local dance entertainment. Tutu and Bushman tribal members entertained us with drums, dance and vocals.

But the entertainment did not stop there. Our room was in a building separate from the main lodge, but next to the big cat exhibit. Throughout the night we could hear the various calls of cats, but the loudest and most fierce by far was the roar of the lion. While we felt secure because we were on the second floor, no doubt the lion woke us numerous time that night.
