Mluwati Concession
The Mluwati Concession is a 10,000-hectare private reserve hidden in Mpumalanga’s renowned Kruger National Park wilderness. Characterised by a sweeping landscape of bushwillows, acacias, open grassland, the N’waswitsontso River, and the eponymous Mluwati River, the concession is a nature lover’s and photographer’s paradise. It provides an essential protected habitat for a large lion population. Visitors can enjoy game drives and view various wildlife, including leopard, wild dog, zebra, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, impala, giraffe, and wildebeest. The area also teems with hundreds of bird species, including the southern, yellow-billed hornbill, the crested barbet, and Burchell’s glossy starling.
