Kuzikus Wildlife Reserve Kalahari

Email: kuzikus@namibiabookings.com

Kuzikus (whitethorn) is one of Namibia’s wildlife farms selected by the government to preserve and protect extremely endangered species.
Having obtained a special permission to renaturalise elephants and black rhinos, we offer you a good opportunity to see these rare animals in the wild.
In order to curb poaching, the world’s most gifted trackers, the Bushmen, regularly track these animals which are highly sought-after by poachers.
Close tracking has recently proven to be one of the most efficient ways of supervision and surveillance.In close cooperation with environmental protection efforts we endeavour to preserve aspects of unspoilt Africa.

The main attraction are over 3000 heads of more than 20 different larger animal species such as eland, kudu, oryx, hartebeest, brindled gnu, black wildebeest, blesbock, springbok, steenbok, duiker, impala, zebra, ostrich and giraffe. Undisturbed by cattle and sheep they roam in liberty and find water at natural waterholes. The game sanctuary Kuzikus is also home to many rare species such as pangolins, aardvarks, nesting eagle and an impressive array of other birds.We are particularly devoted to the black rhino which is threatened by distinction.

A selection of fine South African red and white wines brings the evening to a closure. Organic fresh lemons and oranges from our own garden and fresh ingredients in the kitchen are an obvious choice for us.
