Mkhaya Game Reserve, Swaziland

Displayed:   times.

Roughly 30km north of Big Bend is Mkhaya Nature Reserve, situated along a turn-off from the brilliantly named village of Phuzumoya ('drink the wind') in classic lowveld scrubland, filled with acacia and thorn trees. Ted Reilly initially purchased Mkhaya to save the long-horned Nguni cattle when white beef-farmers regarded them as too puny and unproductive for their industry, and replaced them with imported stock.Today, the cattle graze alongside zebra, wildebeest and antelope, just as they always used to. Among the other endangered species at Mkhaya are the rare black rhinos and the near-extinct roan antelope. More info on: travel-island.com
