Morokologa Private Game Reserve

A stunning, pristine Nature Reserve of 550 hectares wedged into, but fenced out of, the much bigger Selati Nature Reserve surrounding it. We aim to offer our guests a unique and truly immersive nature experience without the usual risks, restrictions, and often exorbitant cost implications that usually underlies most Big Five related safari outings in a similar environment. We can accommodate up to 83 guests in Russet Willow Ridge Hut Camp, which is currently the only public camp on the Reserve. Sip a sundowner on the view tower and relax while the kids have fun in the playroom.

In line with our conservation policies and our commitment towards a cleaner environment and healthier planet, we went fully off-grid on the Reserve since 2012. We rely on gas-operated geysers, fridges and stoves, and we employ a combination of solar power and battery operated light units to meet our lighting requirements.
