Hunting in Tshipise reserve, it is without a doubt one of Southern Africa’s prime conservation areas.

Tshipise Reserve has been privately owned and managed since 1974 by a family who are passionate about Africa and its wildlife and who are pioneers in the South African conservation industry. The reserve is more than 55 000 acres of continuous wild Africa which is home to four of Africa’s Big 5 (Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard, and White & Black Rhino) and is carefully managed to ensure that the reserve maintains its natural ecological integrity. With Mopane and Acacia shrubs, huge mountains, massive Baobab trees, dry riverbeds and some open plains areas with more than 8,000 head of game is Tshipise Reserve without a doubt one of Southern Africa’s prime conservation areas.
