Mattanu Private Game Reserve is located in the Northern Cape Province, the biggest, safest and Malaria free province in South-Africa, approximately 50Km north west of the diamond digging city of Kimberley.
Nestled in the shade of indigenous Camelthorn trees, this family owned and managed business offer unparalleled intimacy and seclusion in their luxury tents and is characterised by exuding warmth and effortless hospitality.
The only reserve in South Africa where you can view breeding programs of Roan, Sable, Buffalo, Royal Oryx, Golden Oryx, Golden Gnu, Black Impala, Tsessebe and Livingstone Eland together on the same property.
Owners, Dr Johan Kriek, wildlife veterinarian, Daleen, wife and their children Johann, Jacques and Heleen have been involved in the wildlife industry since the early 1980’s and their passion for conservation is infectious.
The farm was bought in 1991 and developed as a breeding area for rare antelope species and it was only in 2006 that Mattanu opened its doors to the public as an eco tourism destination.
These unique factors contributed to the numerous accommodation, service and wine list awards Mattanu has received over the last 7 years.
