INTRODUCTION TO INVERDOORN

Inverdoorn Game Lodge & Safari's ten thousand hectares dedicated to conservation contains over 1200 wild animals representing 28 different species and hundreds of species of birdlife. Of all the Cape private reserves this close to the Mother City, only Inverdoorn offers such a wide variety of free roaming species living in large family herds. The reserve runs a Cheetah Rehabilitation Program on site open for overnight visitors to explore and visit. We understand that visiting an African Safari is a once off opportunity, so our safaris are specifically set up for visitors to get maximum first-hand African wild animal interaction.
