Welcome to The Eastern Cape Private Game Reserves

• Area with many good quality malaria free, big five private game reserves. 
• Most within an hour of Port Elizabeth and an ideal combination with time on Garden Route.
• All privately owned and range in size from 5,000 hectares to over 25,000 hectares.
• Each reserve operates independently and each one has its own stock of wildlife, with larger reserves able to manage greater numbers of animals, especially predators. 
• Various numbers of lodges and accommodations on each reserve.
• Although the wildlife population in these reserves is not as natural as some other areas, they still offer great game drives in a beautiful African setting and tend to be a little more affordable and perfect for first time safari goers.
• Home to Addo Elephant Reserve, a expanse of around 180,000 hectares, and with around 450 Elephants, the greatest density of elephant per hectare in Africa. More suited to self drives however, local tourism and short day safaris.
