Private Game Reserve - A Unique Safari Retreat in Limpopo
Nestled in the breathtaking mountain valleys on the border of South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, this Private Game Reserve spans a remarkable 2,500 hectares of unspoilt wilderness. With an elevation change of over 600 meters (2,000 feet), this malaria-free sanctuary offers a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The reserve features a striking combination of highveld grass plains, mountainous habitats, bushveld creeks, and river ravines, making it the ideal environment for a variety of wildlife and bird species.
The Mantshibi Spring flows through the property, joined by several other freshwater springs that feed into the largest private dam in the area, which spans 9 hectares. This dam eventually connects to the Ohrigstad River, creating a serene, water-rich landscape for both game and visitors alike. Situated just a 3.5-hour drive from O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property is easily accessible from Lydenburg (43 km northeast) and Ohrigstad (17 km southeast), offering a perfect blend of remote tranquility and accessibility. For those seeking a more adventurous arrival, you can fly in via airplane or helicopter and be collected from the private 1 km airstrip. Wild animals roam freely on the runway, adding an exciting, authentic safari experience to your arrival.
