Like-minded individuals with a keen interest in conservation are invited to participate as custodians in this remarkable and exciting venture. Lapalala Wilderness will be the first off-grid, sustainable Big Five private protected area of its size. A large portion of the reserve will be maintained as a wilderness area free of man-made structures.
Some of the planet’s earliest sedimentary formations have been generous in Lapalala’s creation of breathtaking and diverse habitats; bountiful waters and waterfalls flow through 44km of Palala and Kgogong river landscape, elevated rocky outcrops look out over valleys, grassland plains and dotted woodland where wild animals have roamed for thousands of years.
Lapalala’s vision and promise are to continue to protect and conserve its biodiversity, uplift its neighbouring communities and create a responsible and sustainable model to secure its conservation status into the future.
Together with Peter Anderson of Anderson Wildlife Properties, a sensitive plan has been formulated so that the vision and legacy of Lapalala can be safeguarded for the future. A Lapalala Conservation Fund endowment will be combined with the breeding initiative to create an integrated sustainable model for Lapalala.
