A decade of cheetah conservation in Manyoni
Over the past two months, our guests and rangers have been treated to excellent sightings of the latest spotted additions and their mother to the reserve.
Zululand protected areas are critically important as they are home to an incredible diversity of plant and animal life. They also face several threats, such as poaching, habitat loss, and climate change. Manyoni’s strong conservation ethic informs every aspect of its management strategy.

In addition to working with our local community for hiring and project funding, we also support numerous community upliftment programmes through the Zululand Conservation Trust.
Game reserves, like Manyoni, are not just patches of wilderness dedicated to wildlife conservation; they
