Babanango Private Game Reserve

Babanango is a relatively new conservation success story, established through a large-scale rewilding initiative in KwaZulu-Natal. The reserve has transformed former farmland into protected wilderness, reintroducing key wildlife species. It offers a combination of meaningful conservation tourism and a developing safari experience in a scenic and less-travelled region.
