African Game Lodge is a private reserve of some 4300ha situated in the Langeberg Mountains in the Little Karoo, just outside Montagu. We are situated at an altitude of 800m above sea level, between the Slagkloof, Gatskraal and Gannaleegte Mountain Range.Our reserve is typical of the Little Karoo, somewhat arid-looking at first glance but home to a vast number of species who thrive in this very sensitive region. The whole reserve is situated in a critical bio-diversity area (CBA) recognised for its importance as a remaining natural corridor, and thus needs to be carefully managed to limit the impact of eco-tourism.The low-rainfall, sensitive vegetation and seasonal grasses cannot sustain large herds of grazers and so careful management is needed to preserve the veld. Our reserve is game-fenced and stocked with Eland, Oryx, Kudu, Springbok, Wildebeest, Cape Rhebok and endemic species such as klip springer, duiker.The Cape Floral Kingdom is the smallest, yet richest plant kingdom on earth. It has earned international recognition as a global biodiversity hotspot. It is also South Africa’s newest World Heritage Site.The Southern Karoo is unique and an exceptionally diverse part of the succulent karoo biome, encompassing diverging landscapes, flora, fauna, climate, soils and geology. It is important for its vast untamed wilderness and the fact that the different conservation areas form natural corridors which link several biomes such as fynbos, succulent and renosterveld.Only 9% of the unique renosterveld and lowland ecosystems remain. Much of the succulent karoo is also under threat.
