Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve, is located approximately 30 km north-east of East London, and is situated within an area of 4500 hectares encompassing five different biomes in the Wild Coast region of South Africa's Eastern Cape province.

History

Inkwenkwezi, which translates from Xhosa to mean "under the stars", grew out of a dream of the Mthatha-born Stanton brothers, Graham and Keith. Graham Stanton purchased the first of several properties in the Chintsa valley area which were eventually combined to form Inkwenkwezi, in 1983.

Species

Inkwenkwezi is home to several lions most of which are extremely rare white lions. One of the tawny females carries 50% of the white gene and has had both brown and white litters.
