The Mapesu Private Game Reserve is situated in northern Limpopo, South Africa and is spread across 7,200 hectares in size. Our goals are to preserve and restore the environment and re-establish biological diversity while creating an up-close and personal experience that reaches into the heart and soul of every visitor.
Type: Experience
Category: Unique Experience
Motivation for award: After successful introduction of both Cheetah and African Wild Dogs on Mapesu Private Game Reserve, in collaboration with EWT, we have spend a lot of time tracking and habituating these rare and endangered animals to gain an understanding of their behaviour, to protect them, and in the process habituating them to humans on foot. We are now in a position to offer clients the once in a lifetime experience to track these animals on foot for a close encounter with totally wild and free-roaming animals while in simultaneously gaining an intimate knowledge of the challenges and joys of conserving these animals, and the habitat they thrive in.
