In early 2019 private owners acquired a derelict hunting establishment carrying the Zulu name Intaba Ingwe (interpreted as “mountain of the leopard”) with a vision to convert and expand the property into a thriving Big-5 wildlife conservancy.

In the years which ensued significant work was undertaken to restore alien infested lands, neglected water sources, damaged and overgrown game fencing, neglected road infrastructure, and the several dilapidated accommodation facilities back to a place where the endemic African wildlife could once again flourish and where nature enthusiasts could benefit.

Although the devastating floods of April 2022, which ravaged the KwaZulu-Natal Province destroying twelve thousand houses and displacing forty thousand people, undid much of this work rehabilitation continues unabated.
