Djuma

Djuma Game Reserve is WildEarth’s home base and always will be. Run and owned by the Moolman’s, this husband and wife team is nothing short of incredible and their reserve is home to many of our well loved animal characters. WildEarth continues with Djuma and the Moolman’s on this amazing adventure started so many years ago by another great team, the Wallingtons.

WildEarth began with a dream, a wild idea and a dam cam in 1998. Djuma was the birthplace of it all and since then WildEarth has achieved the unimaginable reaching millions around the world every month in our mission of connecting people to nature. Djuma is not open to the public at this time and will always be a treasured piece of pristine African wilderness, the heart and home of WildEarth.
