Rooted in Conservation. Driven by Purpose.
At Longhill Reserve, conservation is not a concept, it’s a commitment woven into every aspect of the land we protect.
From the articulated translocation of elephants and hippos to ongoing cheetah conservation efforts, our reserve plays an active role in preserving and restoring South Africa’s natural heritage. This is a commitment we have embarked on for the Eastern Cape and Africa as a whole.
Through initiatives such as Spekboom restoration, Cape Honeybee protection conservation, and off-grid solar sustainability, we are building a future where wildlife and ecosystems can thrive.
Guests are not just visitors; they become part of a living conservation story.
By the end Mid-2026 we will become one of very few completely Off-Grid Lodges and properties in Southern Africa.
