17 species of antelope, 900 + Buffalo, 1,000+ Eland, 4,000+ Springbuck, 1,000+ Gemsbok, 350+ Roan Antelope, 300+ Sable Antelope, 4 different colour variants of Springbok.
Fair chase hunting
We are committed to fair chase hunting. Pursue world class trophy game on 255 square miles of land. Stalking is done on foot where you are accompanied by an experienced GSS Professional Hunter and filed staff who will point out mature trophy quality game and share their knowledge of the land and animals along the way. Today “The Reserve” is one of the largest privately owned single unit properties in South Africa.
An array of Landscapes
“The Reserve” is characterised by vast Serengeti-like plains interspersed with rocky outcrops and majestic mountains. The Sea Cow River flows through the south of the property and the Vanderkloof Dam is situated in the north.
Stargazing
At night, the sky transforms into a picturesque display of colours as the stars light up. Due to the remoteness of “The Reserve” there are no light interference or pollution from close-by cities, making this one of the most unspoilt locations in South Africa.
