Santi Big-5 Private Reserve is situated in the heart of this magical land, that is also home to some of the world's most endangered wildlife species. You will definitely spot the Big-5, although Leopard can be rather elusive, together with a wide variety of other big game and iconic African wildlife, including the world's largest living Black Rhino.

Santi is not just about the wildlife and sumptuous accommodation. The Reserve has a vital
conservation component in terms of rewilding both flora and fauna, that can also be supported
through various tax incentives.

For a visionary with a passion for conservation, there is almost unlimited potential to expand the
Reserve, to the point of adjoining the Addo Elephant Park, and creating the largest private reserve in South Africa.

The Magic Hills Private Collection consists of three Lodges, and one camp, each perfectly suited to those who are in search of a soulful, deeply-rejuvenating safari experience.

Sky Villa, is a rarefied retreat comprising seven suites, and offers breathtaking views. As if floating in an otherworldly atmosphere, Sky Villa rests atop the highest mountains on the reserve, and it is not unusual to awake amongst the clouds. There is also potential for winter snow, or at the very least, a view of snow across the Sneuuberg and Zuurberg.

ILanga Manor House, with its ten spacious suites, is styled along the lines of traditional Cape
Dutch architecture, and carries a sense of yester-year. The Manor House is reminiscent of an oasis in the middle of the desert, with welcoming green lawns and a lush setting that belies the
surrounding landscape.

Elsa's Farmhouse is a restored four bedroomed traditional Karoo homestead that is off the grid,
and solarpowered. ka Khulu Karoo offers seven suites, and is self-catering.

Santi currently covers two biomes - the Thicket Biome and the Nama Karoo Biome which is one biome more than the Kruger National Park can lay claim to. One of the dominant plants in the Thicket biome is Spekboom, a favourite of Kudu, Eland and Black rhino, and something of a miracle plant - one hectare sequesters 4 to 10 tons of carbon per annum.

Despite its otherworldly location, i

Santi Big-5 Reserve and Magic Hills Private Collection is but a
30 minute private charter to the ocean, and a 1.5 hour charter to Cape Town. Moreover, there are three National Parks within a 2 hour drive, including the Valley of Desolation.
