Area Info
Dinokeng Game Reserve is the only Big 5 reserve in Gauteng. Just 40 minutes from Pretoria and malaria-free, the reserve offers an extraordinary adventure close to the city.
The region is home to a range of game, including zebra, hyena, giraffe, buffalo, and eland, across the five provincial nature reserves of Rust de Winter, Mdlala, Mkhombo, Leeuwfontein, and Roodeplaat, and a number of conservancies. The area will ultimately be restocked with Africa's "Big Five", eagle, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros.
Dinokeng is one of South Africa's prime birdwatching areas and is second only to Ndumo in the St Lucia area in terms of its numbers of bird species, making this a twitcher's paradise. The close proximity of water, grassland, and bushveld habitats attracts a wide variety of birds in a relatively small area. The Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve (DB5) is situated in the north-west quadrant of the Gauteng Province of South Africa. The greater Dinokeng area covers approximately 281 000 ha of rural land, incorporating Roodeplaat, Cullinan, Rayton, and open bushveld north of the Moloto Road (R573).
