The Manyeleti Game Reserve, is adjacent to the Kruger National Park (without fences), and adjacent to the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve and the Timbavati Game Reserve. The Tsonga people, who occupied the land before colonization, were forcefully removed and displaced from this land by the colonial Government and resettled in Bushbuckridge. After a successful land claim, the land was given back to the Tsonga people under Chief Mnisi, of the Vahlanganu Clan.

The Mnisi clan or Vahlanganu are currently managing this game reserve, the area is over 22,750 ha in area.
Situated in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. In Xitsonga, 'Manyeleti' means "Place of Stars".

Manyeleti is a description of the star gazing magic that Manyeleti Game Reserve has to offer. In fact, people who have been guests of Manyeleti know that the stargazing there is incredible, so much so that there are those who say you could miss out on everything else and still leave completely convinced you had an amazing experience.

There are multiple factors why, and this blog does a job of highlighting some of them.

Unique Location
Manyeleti Game Reserve is situated between the Timbavati Private Reserve, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park. There are no borders present, meaning that animals are free to roam as they please. This should already speak volumes to you, given the remarkable wildlife and sights all three boast of. This unique location explains why the reserve is home to some of South Africa’s best game viewing including the Big 5 and many other wildlife species.

Minimal Vehicle Density
The reserve has developed a reputation of having low vehicle density, making the experience all the more pleasant. The reason why the vehicle density is so low, despite being sandwiched between 3 of the finest wild places in the country is because it is withdrawn from the most frequented tourist areas. It could be that Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve, all which are conventionally more popular without necessarily offering more, draw most of the traffic. The result is a much unperturbed, authentic traditional safari.

The Honeyguide Khoka Moya Camp (meaning “capture the spirit” in the Shangaan dialect) is a safari bush camp that is comfortable and family friendly.

The Honeyguide Mantobeni Camp offers some amazing and exciting wildlife experiences, along with awesome service and phenomena cuisine.

Tintswalo is a luxurious safari lodge, unique for very low vehicular traffic, allowing it to offer a very authentic traditional experience.

The lodge also overlooks a waterhole that sees elephants as well as other big game frequent it.
