The private game reserve lies nestled away in the prime Kalahari savannah of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.
This outstanding game reserve near Kimberley, is in the area where the pioneers of the diamond rush in the late 19th century, like Cecil John Rhodes came to hone there hunting skills. |

The reserve covers 20 000 acres of savannah, with thickets of black thorn and acacia alongside vast open grassy plains, and low rolling hills. It is a prime example of an ecology in harmony.
The reserve supports a very wide variety of species which include amongst others Sable, Roan, Buffalo, Kudu, Blue Wildebeest, Common Springbuck, Ostrich, Zebra, Warthog, Blesbuck, Oryx, Eland, Red Hartebeest, Black Wildebeest, Black Springbuck and Impala. |
The Kalahari is renowned for being an arid and hot region of Africa, but Newlands is bordered by the tranquil Harts River, and has a large lake and wetland area.
This environment makes Newlands a first-rate area for hunting, fishing, or for the ever popular sport of wing shooting, with game birds such as Franklin, Grouse and Spurwing being a common sight.The wetlands also make for an excellent habitat for antelopes, such as Nyala, Common Reedbuck and Waterbuck, which otherwise struggle in the harsh, dry conditions of the Kalahari.
