Mont Eco Game Reserve

Mont Eco Game Reserve is a 6,500-hectare (16,000-acre) wildlife preservation area located in the malaria-free Klein Karoo of the Western Cape.

Mont Eco is accessible for both day and overnight visitors and offers luxurious eco-lodge accommodations at its Kingsley Lodge, which is a two-and-a-half-hour journey from Cape Town.

Mont Eco Game Reserve, which was previously a farm, undertook the monumental endeavor of returning the farm to its natural state. The game reserve is situated within the prestigious Cape Floral Kingdom and is home to three unique biomes: the Nama Karoo, Succulent Karoo, and Fynbos. It has witnessed a remarkable revival, spearheaded by devoted custodians who have meticulously restored the land to its original state. The land is now teeming with a noteworthy array of succulent plant species.

In this distinctive landscape, iconic Karoo species, including the brown hyena, aardvark, gemsbok, and klipspringer, as well as herds of eland, springbok, wildebeest, and giraffe, have been reintroduced, and wildlife that once inhabited these regions in the distant past has flourished. The Big 5 animals of Africa have been reintroduced to the reserve after extensive research, providing visitors with an authentic Big 5 safari in South Africa.

Journey through time as you explore the intricate history of its landscapes, from ancient Bushman paintings to fossilized remnants spanning millennia, and experience the diverse wonders of nature and the wild majesty of Mont Eco Game Reserve on game drives and bush walks. Mont Eco Private Game Reserve provides an opportunity to reestablish a connection with nature by means of its expansive plains, towering mountains, meandering rivers, and Karoo vegetation.
