Mjejane Reserve etiquette
Mjejane is a working Big 5 reserve. These rules protect you and the animals, and the reserve fines guests who break them.
Arriving and leaving
- Check-in is from 14:00 until 19:00. Check-out is by 10:00 at the latest. After that, a fine of R1,000 per hour applies.
- Private vehicles must stay on the main road when entering and leaving the reserve.
Game drives
- All game drives on the reserve must be led by a registered field guide in an open safari vehicle. No self-drives in private vehicles are allowed.
In the house
- No more than 10 people, including babies and children, may stay in the house.
- Keep volumes low at all times. There is a zero-noise tolerance at night, and you will be fined.
- No white lights from the lodge after dark. Red filters must be used.
Wildlife and safety
- Animals can get through the electric fence at any time. Stay vigilant: active predators have been on the patio at night on many occasions.
- The reserve is home to dangerous animals. Contact management if you meet any such visitors.
- No jogging at any time, and no walking around at night, for your own safety.
- Feeding animals and birds is strictly prohibited. It is a serious offence, and fed monkeys, warthogs and baboons become pests that can be dangerous to people.
- Monkeys can be bothersome. When you see them, close windows and doors until they pass, or they will raid the kitchen cupboards.
Photography
- Do not geotag any images of rhino, even after your stay. This protects the species from poaching.
If reserve rules are not followed, guests are held liable for the resulting fines.
