Mthethomusha Game Reserve was one of the very first game reserves to be built on what has become the contemporary approach to community and conservation partnerships.

Established through an innovative initiative by which the local tribal authority gave low potential agricultural land over to the management of the KaNgwane Parks Corporation for optimal and sustainable development. This approach pioneered in South Africa the concept of close community involvement in conservation.

Guests to this region will experience a cultural reawakening with guided nature walks, whilst exploring the wealth of San rock art sites, located in the area and visits to nearby villages, provide guests with insight into the cultures of the local people.
