25 years ago, these beasts were almost mythical in the Northern Drakensberg, only seen depicted in the Bushman rock art of our cave sandstone!
Since Montusi's inception, the Northern Drakensberg has undergone a massive rehabilitation, allowing our natural grassland biome to return to its pristine origins. Now, as part of the Northern Drakensberg Nature Reserve, we are home to many herds of Cape Eland. In the current spring season, the herds gather into a super herd of over 200 head to raise their young together.
Come and share our hiking, mtb and horse trails with these impressive grazers.
