Named after the largest of all land mammals, the African elephant, ORGR is home to the Big 5 and a large variety of fauna and flora. Conservation of all fauna and flora is the main priority of all our members. The reserve is unfenced and is open to the Kruger Park, from there through to Mozambique, to facilitate the free and natural migration patterns of the animals.
