Balule Nature Reserve is a protected area in Limpopo Province, South Africa which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park as a member of the Associated Private Nature Reserves (APNR). As part of a wildlife conservation initiative, all fences separating APNR reserves – Balule, Timbavati, Klaserie, Umbabat, – and the Kruger National Park have been removed.

As one of the largest privately owned reserves in the country, Balule is home to an abundance of wildlife including the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) as well as numerous other species such as giraffe, zebra, and antelope. The reserve is also known for its stunning landscapes featuring rolling hills, riverine forests, and open savannahs.

One of the unique features of Balule is its commitment to conservation and sustainability. The reserve is part of the Greater Kruger Park, which means it is part of a larger ecosystem that is protected and managed by various organizations. Balule also works closely with local communities to promote responsible tourism and support conservation efforts.
