Birds and Animals

Right in the untamed heart of the Blue Canyon Private Game Reserve, Leopard’s Bend Bush Lodge is a part of a fascinating array of wildlife. For the nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and those just in love with the wild, this page provides insights into the inhabitants of our stunning reserve. From the grandeur of the Big 5 and our sheltered buffalo, to the wealth of other mammal species that paint their stories in the tracks of the bushveld, the land teems with life. And not to be outdone, the air resonates with the calls of over 350 bird species, creating a symphony unique to our region. Our disease-free buffalo are kept in a separate 143Ha enclosure.
