The uPhongola Game Reserve was first proclaimed in 1894 and is the second oldest reserve in the world and the oldest in South Africa. It's a sanctuary to a large variety of wildlife, including elephant, lion, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, impala, hyena, buffalo, rhino and leopard. Exactly 100 years ago after the last sighting of elephant in the uPhongola area, two breeding herds were reintroduced. Birdlife is prolific due to the diversity of habitats, with in excess of 350 species recorded.
uPhongola Game Reserve is a co-operative conservation project between private landowners, tribal communities and government conservation services, and forms the heart of a large ecological and socio-economically viable "Big Five" reserve. Allied to this quest the "Space for Elephant" Foundation has been formed to realise the goal of a biosphere large enough to viably sustain an elephant population of a thousand elephants and allow the re-establishment of the ancient elephant migration routes.
The uPhongola Game Reserve's 'Golela' section, under control of Kwazulu Natal Wildlife has over 40 white rhino. The Rhino Walk takes place here, in the Golela bushveld (Zulu for 'gathering place of animals') on the original area proclaimed as a game reserve by President Paul Kruger in 1894, thus the first and oldest game reserve in Africa!
