Big 5 Game Reserve

Inverdoorn provides the ultimate big 5 safari experience just under 2.5 hours from Cape Town

About Us

Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve is just under 2.5 hours’ drive from Cape Town – in the malaria free Ceres Karoo.

The 10 000 hectare private game reserve offers luxurious Big 5 safaris for day visitors and overnight guests. All members of the Big 5 – the elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo and the elusive leopard – are represented at Inverdoorn. The wildlife is thriving and during your safari you may come across herds of eland, gemsbok and zebra, or hippos wallowing in the dam. The rhinos are a distinct highlight at Inverdoorn.

The reserve is also home to a successful cheetah conservation project and has made a significant contribution to sustaining the biodiversity of the region.

In 2012 Inverdoorn became a luxury Big five safari destination, after the introduction of elephants onto the reserve, accompanying the lion, rhino, African buffalo and the elusive leopard. The cheetah rescue and rehabilitation centre was founded in 2001 and is home to a great number cheetah.

Together with a profusion of wildlife which includes zebras, hippos, giraffes, wildebeest and springbok, our guests are sure to have an unforgettable safari experience.

Cheetah Conservation

The cheetah is one of the great animals that Inverdoorn has rescued and returned to the region. The privilege of seeing a cheetah reach speeds of up to 120km/h will be unlike anything you have experienced before.

The Big 5 Safari

The Klein Karoo was once filled with the big five and other wildlife life. However, they were virtually wiped out due to human settlement and agricultural development. Inverdoorn endeavours to restore this once magical wildlife setting.

Cheetah Conservation

With less than 10 000 cheetahs left in the world today, conservation initiatives such as the Inverdoorn Cheetah Conservation Project is of utmost importance for cheetah survival.
