We have 5km of Vaal River frontage and views of the Vredefort Dome. We are NOT for hunters or self-drives.

Est. 1994 and still managed by Renee, The Savannah Africa is Parys’ 660ha Game Reserve, renowned for professionally guided game drives, wildlife conservation and environmental education. The 660ha single-enclosure game reserve is nestled in a 6km bend of the Vaal River, on the rim of the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site. We maintain a balance of indigenous mammals like Buffalo, Sable, Eland, Giraffe, Kudu, Nyala, Impala, Waterbuck, Springbok, Blesbok, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest... We protect other naturally-occurring fauna and flora - all as Nature intended. The Savannah Africa was founded 1in 1994 by Renee de Jong Hartslief to create a safe haven for indigenous wildlife species and an education facility for all cultures and generations. We do NOT operate the lodge or events company situated in our reserve.

After this morning’s visit by our buffalo bulls, in such moody mist, look at The Savannah Africa moonrise we were blessed with tonight 🙏🏼…

While inspecting Wednesday’s new game licks (and surveilling the buffalo, as always), I snapped a few blue wildebeest leaving the water pan in Parys’ Savannah game reserve…

It’s cold and grey, only a few days from mid-winter, and yet they’re in great condition 😅

Wanna see for yourself? WhatsApp Renee on 0714484332 to join Anyway on a professionally-guided game drive…

Those were fun-filled but meaningful learning experiences 💭

If only others understood what game reserve management really is 🙏🏼

It’s constant and consistent: fence patrols and maintenance, habitat control, fire mitigation, wildlife monitoring and documentation, planned game breeding, capture (or culling 😞 where necessary)…

It’s NOT about shooting the s**t out of random bokkies or buffs to make a few bucks, Bob!!
