Big Five
Description
Four hundred and sixty hectares sharing a two-kilometre river boundary with the Kruger National Park, which is what sets the price rather than the size. Big Five move across the river through the dry season and the sightings record kept since 2015 is available to buyers.
The property is zoned for tourism use and the existing lodge trades year-round at a high occupancy.
Improvements
Six-suite lodge on the river terrace with a raised viewing deck, plunge pool and boma, completed in 2018. Separate owner’s cottage set back from the guest area, plus staff accommodation for fourteen.
One equipped borehole, a licensed river abstraction and a 60 kVA generator on automatic changeover. Perimeter is 2.4 m electrified game fence on three sides; the river forms the fourth.
Wildlife & vegetation
Riverine forest along the frontage with sycamore fig and jackalberry, opening to mixed lowveld bushveld inland. Small property, but the river makes it disproportionately productive.
Elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard cross regularly from the park. Resident game includes kudu, nyala, bushbuck, impala, waterbuck and hippo in the river pools.
Land claims
No claim lodged. Title is clean and the tourism zoning is confirmed in writing by the municipality.
