Wildlife:

The Karoo is an area of great biodiversity. The Swartberg Mountain Range splits the expanse

between the Little Karoo in the south-west and the Great Karoo in the north-east. This Game Reserve is located in the latter. This semi-desert region is renowned for its harsh yet beautiful conditions – arid land alive with the most persistent of vegetation, vast cloudless skies, expansive vistas as far as the eye can see, and exceptional bird- and wildlife.

While this Game Reserve is home to the Big Five, it’s the rarer creatures that will attract more discerning guests. Birdlife is prolific, with 407 different species known in the area, including the endangered and seldom seen black eagle. There are also 10 endemic bird species that occur in the Karoo and nowhere else in the world, like the Karoo Korhaan, Sclater’s Lark, Cinnamonbreasted Warbler and Karoo Eremomela, who are guaranteed to entice keen twitchers to reach for the binoculars.

There are also over 45 exotic and unusual species roaming the land, including the Golden, Arabian Scimitar and painted Oryx. Those who wish to explore the grasslands by night may be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of elusive animals like the Aardvark, Lynx, Porcupine, Blackback Jackal and Bat-eared Fox. Magic Hills is also home to the largest Black Rhino bull in the world; as one of the most critically endangered species in the world, a sighting of this guy is priceless.
