Welcome to Ubizane
Private Wildlife Reserve
Our privately-owned, low-risk malaria reserve sprawls over an expanse of 1200 hectares.
It’s also teeming with wildlife which include Giraffe, Wildebeest, Zebra and the majority of antelope species, as well as over 450 bird species of birdlife.
The landscape alone is breathtaking and varies beginning with our remarkable Fever Tree Woodland and its associated wetlands. Then, visitors can catch a glimpse of the distinct tourism infrastructure from natural areas, the diversity of wildlife and typical Zululand vegetated landscape, and the seasonal Mzinene River that snakes through the reserve.
