Welcome to Mpotshane Safaris and Private Game Reserve. This hidden treasure is situated only 60 km from East London on the N2 traveling towards Durban. Mpotshane Game Reserve is situated 3kms from the Kei Cuttings on the N2 which makes access a pleasure. The reserve boasts with a number of game, bird and plant species. Game species that can be seen on our game drives include the following:
Nyala, Eastern Cape Kudu, Greater Kudu, Cape Bushbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Burchell's Zebra, Southern Impala, Common Blesbuck, Warthog, Grey Duiker, Mountain Reedbuck, Bushpig, Chacma Baboon, Vervet Monkey etc.
The Reserve is partly mountainous, with gorges, waterfalls and hanging cliffs, offering some of the most spectacular views in Southern Africa. Open plains and bush that vary from pristine to ravine together with impassable wild areas create a haven for the above mentioned species. We will entertain you with real South African hospitality from the moment of arrival to the time of departure and still keep in touch thereafter, the way good friendships are formed.
