The largest "BIG 5" game reserve in Western Cape

Inverdoorn Game Reserve & Iziba Safari Lodge is proud to have the famous animals that make up the Big Five. The term Big 5 originally referred to the five most difficult species to hunt and, consequently, the most killed by trophy hunters. The Big 5 animals, now considered as part of the South African culture, are the rhino, the lion, the buffalo, the elephant and the leopard and now form part of Inverdoorn Game Reserve's pride and joy.

Western CapeCheetah Conservation

Several years ago, driven by a passion for this incredible animal, Inverdoorn Game Reserve & Iziba Safari lodge started a cheetah breeding and rehabilitation programme and cheetah conservation initiative, the Western Cape Cheetah Conservation (WCCC). Fourteen cheetah call the reserve home, including a young cheetah rescued at the age of three months and named Iziba.
