Balule Nature Reserve Wildlife
Balule NR shares open borders with Kruger Park and is, therefore, part of a huge ecosystem and home to all major safari animals – including the Big Five. The Olifants River attracts an abundance of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, waterbuck, and giraffe. Lions are often nearby. Leopards and cheetahs are also present but less easy to see.Balule offers an authentic wildlife experience. All safari animals are present and are able to wander between the property and the neighboring Kruger. A large concentration of giraffes, waterbuck, and wildebeest attracts predators in great numbers. Large herds of buffalo and elephants often roam the area.
