Mansfield Private Reserve and Lodge

From ZAR 470 per person sharing

Perfectly situated midway between Port Elizabeth and East London and halfway between Durban and Cape Town, Mansfield Reserve and Lodge lies nestled amongst 1000 acres of lush undulating grassland and thornveld plateaus.

Vegetation is typical Eastern Cape sweetveld and bush with the landscape and kloofs providing ideal habitat for rare cycads, sneezewoods, yellowoods, Cape milkwoods, white ironwoods, pearthorn and knobthorns to name but a few. This combination of sweet grassland, thornveld and densely wooded valleys make this reserve unique and an ideal game reserve.
