Dinokeng AREA/GAME RESERVE
The name of the Dinokeng Game Reserve is derived from the languages of the baTswana and baPedi people who traditionally inhabited the area. Meaning “a place of rivers”, Dinokeng lies in the catchment area of two rivers that flow into the Olifants and Limpopo rivers and on to the Indian Ocean.
The Dinokeng Game Reserve is a partnership between landowners, the Gauteng Government, Blue IQ and local communities. A sizable 18 500 hectares of ‘bushveld’ in north-east Gauteng, the reserve includes an interesting biodiversity which includes both the Big-5 and Dinokeng Little 5, numerous bird species, trees, shrubs, flowers and more - only 60 minutes from Johannesburg and 40 minutes from Pretoria.
Escape the busyness of city life and spend a few days close to nature to relax, refresh your soul, de-stress and appreciate the magnificence of the African bush at Dinokeng. This malaria-free area offers a variety of activities including game viewing, restaurants, hiking, bird watching, conference facilities, wedding venues, vibrant traditional culture and places of historical interest.
