It was the first private game reserve to be developed along the southernmost coast of South Africa with the explicit intent of rewilding the wilderness and wildlife that previously thrived in the region prior to European colonization.
The reserve hosts endangered species such as the Cape mountain zebra, Barbary lion and south-central black rhinoceros.
Many species of antelope, including eland, gemsbok, red hartebeest, bontebok and springbok can be found on the reserve, following their reintroduction to the area, which was formerly farmland.
In addition to the free-roaming Big 5, the reserve is home to the south-western black rhinoceros, over 10 varieties of antelope (more than the Kruger National Park), and hundreds of head of general game.
