Kaingo Private Game Reserve is found in Limpopo, South Africa. It is a 2.5-hour drive or 45-minute flight from Johannesburg, making it one of the most accessible reserves in the country. Malaria-free, Kaingo is a declared protected area and a core area of the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve.
The Mokolo River, meaning "deep and silent" in Tswana, threads its way through the reserve. Massive cliffs, sandy beaches, natural causeways, and potholes and waterfalls are surrounded by breathtaking beauty. Large unspoilt wilderness with rolling wooded mountains are cut by deep rocky ravines. Kaingo is home to over 50 different mammals, including 4 of the Big Five. It is home to several endangered and rare species too. The grassy plains abound with animals, and predators are always close by. The diverse habitat encourages a wide range of wildlife, as well as over 300 bird species.
Kaingo is a genuinely conservation-focused reserve, and bases its management and operations principles on this ethos.
