AREA INFORMATION
Mjejane Private Game Reserve is a premier wildlife destination nestled along the Crocodile River in the southern region of the Greater Kruger National Park. Spanning over 4,000 hectares, this unfenced reserve allows wildlife to roam freely between Mjejane and Kruger, offering guests an authentic and uninterrupted safari experience. Wildlife & Landscape - Mjejane is renowned for its exceptional game viewing, with regular sightings of the Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo along with over 300 bird species, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of antelope. The reserve's diverse habitats include riverine forests, open savannahs, and rocky outcrops, creating a rich ecosystem that supports a wide range of fauna and flora. Exclusivity & Tranquility - Unlike busier public areas of Kruger, Mjejane offers a more intimate experience. Visitor numbers are limited, and the reserve is privately managed, ensuring quiet surroundings and personalized encounters with nature. Climate & Best Time to Visit - The dry season, from May to September, is ideal for wildlife viewing. Cooler temperatures and sparse vegetation make animals easier to spot, especially around water sources. The summer months (December to January) bring rain and lush greenery, though game viewing can be more challenging due to dense foliage. Accessibility - Mjejane is easily accessible via the N4 highway: - ±4 hours 15 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) - ±45 minutes from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (Nelspruit) - GPS Coordinates: Latitude -25.441694 Longitude 31.707750 Whether you're soaking in the views from Buffalo Brooke's infinity pool or listening to lions call in the distance, Mjejane offers a deeply immersive bush experience, where luxury meets the wild.
