Discover Nyosi Wildlife Reserve

As day turns to evening, embrace a new rhythm of the wild with a Sunset Game Drive at Nyosi Wildlife Reserve, just 30 minutes from Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport and Gqeberha’s golden beaches. Once described by conservationist Dr Ian Player as part of the “new wilderness frontier,” this pioneering peri-urban reserve offers the perfect balance of city convenience and bush tranquillity. Spanning 2,600 hectares across five indigenous biomes, Nyosi is home to elephant, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, Cape mountain zebra, and more than 260 bird species. As the sun dips low, the landscape glows in shades of gold and amber—an unforgettable sight for photographers and nature lovers alike. Guided safaris lead you in search of wildlife at dusk, pausing at a scenic lookout to enjoy sundowners and refreshments, surrounded by the sounds of the wild. Malaria-free and easily accessible, Nyosi is perfect for couples, families, or groups seeking an authentic safari close to Gqeberha.
