As you arrive at Inyati Private Game Reserve you will be struck by a remarkable feeling of peace and tranquility. You will meet the genial and well-trained management and staff who will be your hosts for your stay at Inyati.

Situated on the scenic banks of the perennial Sand River, Inyati is set in 65000 hectares of the most diverse and beautiful bushveld, in one of the world’s largest and most prestigious private conservancies – the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park.

Inyati means buffalo in Shangaan which is the language of the local peoples, and Inyati is home to this powerful, indomitable breed, along with the rest of the Big 5 – elephant, rhino, lion and leopard. These majestic creatures, together with the great variety of other mammal, bird and reptile species found within the reserve, ensure that your safari experience at Inyati will be an outstanding and unforgettable one.

In 1996, Inyati embarked on a Habitat Management Programme to ensure that the land (and therefore it’s inhabitants) are affected as little as possible by the impact of our human presence in an otherwise pristine environment. In consultation with top ecologists, natural clearings have been re-established, alien and invading plant species encroachment has been effectively halted, and erosion successfully combated.

Our spacious, luxurious chalets have been extensively refurbished, offering the discerning traveler exquisite accommodation. Inyati also boasts some superb facilities for you to enjoy outside the safari.

Game drives are conducted in specially customized open Landrovers, providing our guests with quiet, state-of-the-art comfort and safety on safari. The Inyati safaris take place over 10000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness, and strict regulations are in place to minimize pressure on both the game and the habitat in our sector of the reserve.
