Shelanti Game Reserve

Shelanti Game Reserve With the wonders of the African bush awaiting those who dare to find them, we invite you to join us at Shelanti Game Reserve.

The lodge offers accommodation options where a weary traveller or adventure seeker can put their feet up and relax. SHELANTI GAME RESERVE

Shelanti Game Reserve (Est. 1996) lies in the Waterberg region of the Limpopo province, just north of the small town Marken. Shelanti boasts with the rich habitat diversity unique to this region, which in turn allows us to accommodate a high diversity of birdli

fe and wildlife, perfect for any wildlife enthusiast. On our 17 500ha open farm area one has the opportunity to view not only general plains game, but also favourites such as Cheetah, Leopard, Hyena, Buffalo and the elusive Elephant. On the open farm we also run an active vulture restaurant where frequent visitors include; the White-backed vulture, the Cape Griffon vulture and the Lappetfaced vulture. Sightings of the Rüppell’s vulture have also been recorded. Further Shelanti Game Reserve offers accommodation at our Lodge (with guesthouse), our luxury tented camp and fully furnished self-catering chalets. As the ambassadors of this beautiful piece of land, together with our love of nature, we feel responsible to be involved in the Conservation of South Africa’s wildlife. It’s because of this we initially got involved in the rare game breeding industry where we acquired six Southern Roan antelope (April 1998). Since then we have grown in the industry and today Shelanti prides ourselves in the genetic and trophy quality of the following breeding programs:
* Buffalo (Kruger and East African bloodlines)
* Roan Antelope
* Sable Antelope (Zambian and Matetsi bloodlines)
* Nyala
* Lichtenstein Hartebeest
* Livingstone Eland

As mentioned above, Shelanti takes great pride in all of our projects! We aim to always to always improve, not only on our genetic stock, but also in our involvement in the conservation of our natural heritage. We welcome any guests to our premises and hope to hear from you soon. Guesthouse @ R 999.00 pppn breakfast included
Luxury tented Camp @ R 1149.00 pppn breakfast included
Chalets @ R 675.00 pppn self-catering

A tradegy took place on Shelanti Game Reserve with the devastating reality of rhino poaching and the killing of one of our beloved rhinos. The female that was shot and killed by poachers took a long time to get pregnant for the first time. Quick reaction prevented the poachers from removing the horns but unfortunately she and her unborn calf could not be saved.
We once again approach our followers and friends to open their hearts and scan the QR code or visit our website to donate to our Save Shelanti Rhinos NPO to help us increase security and obtain more equipment to ensure the future of our rhinos. Any donation, big or small, strengthens the protection surrounding these vulnerable animals.
Photos are from the post mortem done by SAPS and the nature conservation authorities.

There is something truly special about the start of a new day in the bush.

As the sun rises over the landscape and nature begins to stir, the reserve comes alive with sights, sounds, and moments that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

It’s the perfect reminder to slow down, take in your surroundings, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
