Manketti Game Reserve is a 22,000 ha conservation area surrounding the Exxaro Grootegeluk mine at Lephalale, and acts as an area of responsible and sustainable environmental management in mitigation of mining impacts. The reserve is home to a great variety of wildlife, with only elephant and lion lacking.
Our pride is our exceptional buffalo, and several rare and protected species such as sable antelope and tsessebe.
Cheetah abound as our apex predator together with a healthy population of brown hyena and other smaller predators that do their part in sustaining a natural ecosystem. In addition to this, our bird list exceeds 200 verified species, including three vulture species which we actively nurture and monitor at our dedicated vulture feeding restaurant.
At Manketti we believe in sustaining intact and functional ecosystems as far as possible. This includes paying attention to all the less obvious, but critically important biota, such as invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians. For this reason we identify and specially protect and manage their sensitive ecosystems and habitats, such as seasonal pans and wetlands.
Our flagship species is the enigmatic Manketti tree, from which the reserve derives its name. This is the only place in our country where this tree occurs, and therefore we have a dedicated monitoring program for these trees, coupled with research projects to better understand its ecology. In addition we also take pride in caring for other plants with special protected status, such as the violet tree, leadwood, marula, camelthorn, shepherds tree, and several smaller shrubs, forbs and geophytes.
