Big Game Park Eswatini

Mlilwane North Project BGP

Mlilwane North is an important extension of the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. The montane grasslands and boulder communities of vegetation are integral to this protected habitat – a part of an ecotype which has so rapidly been invaded and destroyed by alien commercial forests and unplanned human expansion, displacing native wildlife almost everywhere in western Swaziland.

Mlilwane North is an important catchment area, contributing greatly to stream and river flow needed by communities downstream. It is also an essential extension of Mlilwane on which to establish roan antelope, oribi, vaal rhebuck and many other rare, threatened and locally endangered species. All capital aspects of development will need help with funding while recurrent costs will be met from revenues.
