The Mnisi people lived and occupied this land for many generations and in the new South Africa, they instituted a land claim for the return of their ancestral grounds. The Manyeleti Game Reserve is now managed by Mnisi tribe, who are committed to retaining the integrity of the game reserve and unlocking the tourism potential to the benefit of the Mnisi people and surrounding communities.

The most dominant tribe in the area is the Shangaan, and in their language Manyeleti means "Place of Stars." A clear winter's night will attest to aptness of this name, as it seems like the sky is bursting at the seams with stars. The fenceless borders it shares with Kruger, Sabi Sand and Timbavati Game Reserves, forms an integral ecological unit where all the animals of the bush can roam free.
