Djuma Game Reserve

Djuma Game Reserve is a protected area of about 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) located within Sabi Sand Game Reserve along the western edge of Kruger National Park. The landscape includes open grasslands and wooded areas that support a wide range of animal species.

The reserve was established several decades ago as part of conservation efforts in the region. Border fences between reserves were removed to create a connected landscape that allows animals to move freely across a larger area.

The name comes from a local language and means the roar of a lion, showing how deeply connected the place is to its wildlife. This naming reflects how important large predators are to the identity of this region.

Visitors stay in eight thatched lodges, each equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and mosquito nets for insect protection. The driest months offer the best conditions for spotting animals, as they gather more frequently at water sources.

The reserve broadcasts two daily live game drives through WildEarth, connecting global viewers with guides in real time to watch wildlife behavior. This digital experience lets people worldwide follow animal observations and learn about the landscape from home.
