Djuma Game Reserve Live Cam

History

The Djuma Game Reserve, located within the prestigious Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa, is a destination renowned for its rich history and exceptional wildlife. Established in the early 1990s, Djuma is part of the greater Sabi Sand ecosystem, a private reserve that shares an unfenced border with the world-famous Kruger National Park. The Sabi Sand Game Reserve itself dates back to the 1950s, when it was first formed by a collaboration of private landowners who sought to protect the biodiversity of the area and allow animals to roam freely between the park and neighboring reserves.

In its early days, Djuma was used as a hunting ground, like many of the surrounding areas. However, with the advent of conservation awareness in the late 20th century, the reserve shifted its focus from hunting to sustainable wildlife management and ecotourism. This transition was driven by a growing global recognition of the importance of preserving Africa’s natural heritage and a desire to protect the diverse array of animals that inhabit the region.
