Both Russ Weston and Jurie Moolman are businessmen and conservationists with a vision to empower the local community. Manyeleti (meaning “Place of the Stars” in the local Shangaan language) was built during the apartheid years, but was recently handed back under a land claim to the local Mnisi tribe, who had occupied the land for many generations. Boasting sole use of over 22 700 hectares of Big Five territory, Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks have injected millions on upgrading and refurbishing Manyeleti.

The Mnisi people are committed to keeping the integrity of the game reserve and unlocking the tourism potential for the benefit of local communities and see our joint venture as a wonderful opportunity to put their beautiful reserve firmly back on the tourist map.
The camp is close to Hoedspuit, Kruger International and Phalaborwa airports, within range of Johannesburg and Pretoria, and in close proximity of both Nelspruit and Polokwane soccer stadiums.

The business model is one of maximal joint ventures so as create as many empowerment opportunities as possible. We would like to leave a legacy of a functioning, sought after product in the market. This legacy will include skills transfer and work experience, from trained waiters to catering staff.

Furthermore, local entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity to ply their trade, the idea being that after the World Cup is over and done with, that Manyeleti would be able to continue providing the services and functions that we define in this initial product offering, without the help of outsiders. That is, building a sustainable product for an untapped niche market: Community owned and operated big 5 safaris in the Greater Kruger Park offering young travelers access to a first-class location at great value.
