Buwiri

Buwiri In the heart of the Eastern Cape at the confluence of the Bushman’s and Nazaar rivers the pristine Bushmans Wildlife Reserve can be found.

Representing true indigenous African bush, rich with extraordinary flora and where wild fauna species, large and small, roam contented. Buffalo, giraffe and blue duiker are but a few species amongst the 40 plus mammals that may be found on the reserve. Making the reserve a prime game viewing destination for guests from across the world. Since about 1750 to about 1779 the Bushmans River, named f

or the Khoikoi and San present in the area, was a natural boundary for the expanding Frontier Farmers from the Cape Colony, under Dutch rule at the time. Beyond the Bushmans lay the Zuurveld all the way to the Fish River where Xhosa tribes could be found. 100km away lays Algoa Bay or Port Elizabeth as the city is called today. A flight from Cape Town or Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth international airport ideally brings you close to this wildlife experience. The sunshine coast's Addo national park and Indian Ocean, along the R72 route, are but two unique areas that offer beautiful scenery or should you so choose heart stopping adventurous activities.

Did you know an elephant’s trunk contains over 40,000 muscles—that’s more than the entire human body combined! 🐘💪 It uses this incredible “super-arm” to breathe, smell, drink (holding up to 10 liters of water at a time!), grab delicate blades of grass, and even give itself a dust-bath spa treatment. 🌿✨

Our river horses at BUWIRI symbolise strength, protection and adaptability. Even though these magnificent animals can only see in two colors they allow for some colorful sightings.
