GEOGRAPHY
The farm is both high - and - lowveld with the Hlonyane river
that crawls through the farm. It is a water rich valley with lots of hills (koppies).

HISTORICAL
We are right in the middle of the Battlefields route. Historically packed with a wealth of knowledge. Dundee has the Talana Museum. There is also Rorkes Drift, Umgungundlovu, and the Bloodriver museum. The great Umfolozi Game Reserve is within 100km from the farm

ON THE FARM
We do Clay pigeon shooting and fresh water fishing on the farm. If the weather permits we can even arrange for a flip over the farm in the R44 helicopter.

SURROUNDINGS
Richardsbay is about 250km from us and Sodwana 320km.


VULTURE RESTAURANT and BIRDING
We are also in the extremely fortunate position of having +80 vultures roosting on the farm and watch them devour the carcasses left for them. The endangered Ground Hornbill and Trumpeter Hornbill as well as a few breeding pairs of Secretary birds will make the day of many a bird lover, especially when the fish eagle calls and swoops down for a catch in one of 8 dams on the farm.

HIKING TRAILS AND WILD DRIVES
We have excellent safe hiking trails and our trained guides are at your exposure should you need them. We offer night drives where you are certain to see the Aardwolf, Serval, Lynx and for the lucky few, Leopard, Hyena and Jackal. Picnic baskets can be arranged.

FISHING
We do deep sea fishing excursions to Richardsbay, Sodwanabay, Kosibay and Ponta d’Ouro. Our skipper – Etienne – has more than 20 years experience and is extremely capable.

The ‘Sodwana Hooker’ is a 22ft fully equipped Sportsfisher. Please remember to pack your Passport for the Ponta d’Ouro excursion – no Visa’s required.

In Ponta we will be staying in a fully furnished house which has 3 double beds and 8 single beds, a kitchen and 2 bath rooms.

In Sodwana, Kosibay and Richardsbay we will be camping- using tents and caravans. These campsites has powerpoints and excellent ablution facilities. At Sodwanabay, you could even bring your diving gear or just snorkel along the reefs.

TROPHY HUNTING
Trophy hunting is open year round, but is far better in the winter months.
