History

Inkwenkwezi, which translates from Xhosa to mean "under the stars", grew out of a dream of the Umtata born Stanton brothers, Graham and Keith. Graham Stanton purchased the first of several properties in the Cintsa valley area which were eventually combined to form Inkwenkwezi, in 1983.

Species

  • Inkwenkwezi is home to several lions, four of which are extremely rare white lions. The two current adults were acquired as cubs on July 17, 2004. One the brown females carries 50% of the white gene and has had both brown and white litters. In 2010 she had two white cubs.
