THE AREA

Melozhori Private Game Reserve lies in the picturesque Cape Fold Mountains, adjacent to the tiny hamlet of Stormsvlei, in the verdant Overberg district of the Western Cape. It is located less than 200km from Cape Town and conveniently halfway to the world-famous Garden Route. Surrounded by undulating hills and mountains, with no other signs of civilization, it feels as though you’re in the deepest “bush” of Africa. The hilly and mountainous topography offers guests incredible vantage points of the 2,300 hectare reserve.

The flora consists mostly of Succulent Karoo, rare and endangered Renosterveld and sections of biodiverse Fynbos in the mountainous areas. Just a few of the mammals that can be found in the reserve include zebra, giraffe, eland, kudu, red hartebeest, bontebok, sable antelope, waterbuck, bushbuck, black-backed jackal and the bat-eared fox. Special bird species include the blue crane, black harrier and cape vulture.
