Abundant Wildlife & Birdlife

Game Wildlife

Within Dinokeng Game Reserve (DGR) the African wildlife includes lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard as well as many other species such as jackal, hyena, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, numerous different antelope, and many more. The variety and quantity of wildlife in the DGR is extensive and sightings often rival more remote parks.

The Dinokeng area is a bird-lovers paradise. An enormous number of bird species can be viewed, with the area holding the world record for most bird species recorded in a 24-hour period.

You’ll probably be lucky enough to see some of these animals directly from some of the Resort’s viewpoints, or even from your Suite/Villa through our highly protected electric fence.

Game Drives

Dinokeng-Reserve-Game-Drives Golden Impalas Resort
We take you on our game drives early in the morning or in the late afternoon as these are the best times for spotting wildlife. As always in the wonderful bush of game reserves near Pretoria, we can never guarantee what we will see. What we do enjoy are unforgettable African sunsets and sunrises. We provide your own personal sun-screen and insect repellent packs as needed, and our blankets keep you snug in our winter season or chilly mornings.

We also provide a beautiful picnic breakfast with coffee in the morning and a picnic lunch with wine, beer and soft drinks on late afternoon outings. Naturally, we’ll be happy to arrange a private game drive if you so desire (not included in the rates).
