Nyati Reserve

Situated within the famous Waterberg biome, this 33,000 acre wilderness boasts three of the Big Five and five of the Dangerous Seven along with many different plains game species.

Hunting is carefully managed and conducted in the spirit of fair chase with only mature, quality specimen harvested by means of walk and stalk. Blinds and hides provide bow hunters as well as rifle hunters with various opportunities, thereby catering to both disciplines. The closest port of entry is OR Tambo International (JNB) which is situated approximately 3 hours’ drive from the reserve. The private runway also allows quick access to the area for clients’ wishing to travel privately.
