Private Game Reserve Bordering Mapungubwe National Park, Limpopo, South Africa

Spanning 21,332 hectares across nine title deeds in Limpopo, South Africa, this extraordinary private game reserve borders the renowned Mapungubwe National Park and Botswana’s Tuli Block, forming part of an unbroken transfrontier conservation landscape of nearly 121,000 hectares where wildlife moves freely across three countries without fences or barriers.
Seven to eight kilometers of Limpopo River frontage define the estate’s western boundary, offering dramatic scenery and exceptional biodiversity. The reserve hosts three of the Big Five — lion, elephant, and leopard — alongside frequent movement of cheetah and African wild dog. Game numbers carry significant upside potential through improved water distribution across the property and supplementary feeding programs during the dry season, enhancing both eco-tourism and controlled hunting opportunities under permit.
Three established lodges anchor the property. The main lodge offers ten guest rooms accommodating up to 25 guests, a professional hunter’s house, a caretaker’s residence, and an infinity pool with sweeping views over the Limpopo River. The hillside lodge features eleven ensuite air-conditioned rooms with panoramic views over a major dam, staff housing, and a working butchery with cold room. The operational base completes the infrastructure with a manager’s residence, guest rondavel, workshop, laundry, and several staff houses, serving as the logistical and maintenance hub of the entire reserve.
Supporting infrastructure includes Eskom grid power, multiple boreholes, four large dams, and an extensive 700-kilometer internal road network providing full access across the property. A private airstrip suitable for turboprop aircraft requires only minor refurbishment to return to full operation.
Of exceptional cultural and historical significance, the reserve contains 23 confirmed Bushman rock paintings and lies within the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe — Southern Africa’s first recorded civilization, dating to the 13th century. Its position near the confluence of the Sashe and Limpopo Rivers, where South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe meet, lends the property a geographic and cultural distinction that is truly unmatched.
Accessible in under 90 minutes by air from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a landmark stake in one of southern Africa’s most compelling wilderness, conservation, and heritage landscapes.
