The luxurious big five Ka’Ingo private game reserve is located just three hours north of Johannesburg, or 35 minutes by light aircraft landing at the 1.2 kilometre landing strip on the property. Ka’Ingo is a founder member of the Greater Mokolo Nature Reserve in the Malaria free Waterberg, taking down fences and opening a 16 000 hectare conservation sanctuary became a reality on the 11th July 2009. This is arguably the most secluded privately owned nature reserve accessible to the public in South Africa. Exclusive game viewing is an outstanding attribute with a ratio of 3 000 hectare pristine Bushveld per game viewer and some 42 game species including; lion, elephant, white rhino, a buffalo breeding program, leopard, cheetah conservation project, giraffe, ‘majestic’ kudu, impala, waterbuck, gemsbuck, zebra and many more. The ‘majestic’ kudus seen on the reserve is evidence of the positive impact of the no hunting policy which has been introduced more than 7 years ago.
Conservation is a lifestyle and ethos at Ka’Ingo on which this special sanctuary is based. Guests are often part of conservation projects; releasing rehabilitated leopard or conducting field work can be in a day’s experience. The professional Game Rangers share information on conservation and field management in a way that is understandable and interesting. Back to nature is a philosophy and a driving force behind the conservation efforts at Ka’Ingo, being in the Waterberg Biosphere alludes to serious commitment to these efforts.
The mystery that surrounds age old rock art can be witnessed at one of the many sites set in a scenic vantage point overlooking an awesome gorge and ravine. Experience the unexplained intricacies at this unique site with three types of overlapping historic paintings from the Koi, the San and more recent the Phedi. Clive Walker, renowned artist and conservationist, said this is to his mind a most special and unique example of rock art in the Limpopo Province.
Experiencing conservation, African game, rock art or the fauna and flora of the Waterberg can be tiring for a city dweller. A late afternoon sundowner or just a moment to contemplate on life usually set the scene for leisure time at the communal gathering area and dinner at the Ka’Ingo restaurant or boma. The main lodge at Ka’Ingo consists of 12 luxurious rooms with modern amenities such as flatscreen TV and DVD players, air conditioning and spacious bathrooms. The rooms are set in a scenic indigenous garden with 23 species of age old cycad plants. The dam attracts fast numbers of birds, all joining the chorus welcoming visitors to Ka’Ingo.
More than anything Ka’Ingo is known for its friendly and caring personnel delivering their special brand of service to their patrons. www.kaingo.co.za
