The main restaurant and bar area overlooks the rolling hills onto a small water hole, which is frequented by various game and Big 5 animals. The pool area also has amazing views where you can relax with a cocktail while viewing game moving across the hills.

There are also traversing agreements in place so one can game drive on most of the Reserve. The monthly levy is R20.00 per hectare. The owner is selling a 50 % share in a company that owns a 820 ha property in the Reserve.  There is one title deed of 820 ha and the buyer will purchase a 50 % share in the company that owns the property with all the improvements, lodge, buildings etc which is part of the 50 % that is for sale.  Interested buyers are welcome to contact me to get more information regarding this rare opportunity.  There are various loose assets like furniture, crockery, linen and farm implements, as well as a game viewer included in the selling price.  The share also includes a share percentage in all the game on the Reserve.
