Ant's Nest

Ant Africa Safari's private reserve is located in South Africa's Waterberg region – one of the country's most diverse and biologically rich safari destinations. The reserve encompasses around 12,500 acres of protected bushveld in Limpopo Province, roughly three hours north of Johannesburg, offering a classic Waterberg setting with incredible variety in both scenery and wildlife. The Waterberg is a UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve, renowned for its red sandstone formations, rolling hills, open plains, ravines, and dense savannah woodlands. The landscape here sets itself apart from many other safari areas in southern Africa with its rugged terrain and vast ecological diversity. The reserve comprises no fewer than twelve distinct ecological zones – ranging from open grasslands to dense bushveld – providing ideal conditions for remarkably rich flora and fauna. The wildlife on the reserve is exceptionally diverse, featuring over 40 species of large mammals. Guests have the chance to spot giraffe, white rhino, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, nyala, impala, waterbuck, eland, warthog, and several other antelope species, as well as predators such as leopard, brown hyena, jackal, caracal, civet, and genet. Furthermore, the area is particularly celebrated for its populations of sable and roan antelope – two of South Africa's rarest and most conservation-dependent antelope species, which are seldom seen in the country's national parks. For birdwatchers, the region is equally captivating, boasting over 300 species of both resident and migratory birds.
