Environmental
management & conservation (land and marine)
Alien vegetation
control
Sustainable
development and ethical use of agricultural land for the preservation of
naturally occurring game in Africa.
Walk the valleys and
the bush veld of the hills of the GreatKeiRiver and experience the
wilderness first hand. This is walk and
stalk country, this is where real hunters hunt, where the
search, track and find bring a whole new dimension to the hunting
experience.
Our conservation
efforts have made our farm the ideal environment for bow hunting.
The game is never disturbed and it has become ‘tame’ to Clint walking the
farm. The wart hog are plentiful and we have a couple of characters who
visit around the paddocks. Our farm also has Bush Buck, Bless buck, Impala,
Kudu and many other animal species that occur naturally in the area. We are
privileged to be able to hunt on neighboring farms and local game reserves.
The Sea and fishing is Clint’s great
passion and having an excuse to go out in his ski boat “Sea Star” is only
stopped by bad weather!
Clint will take you
out deep sea fishing, launching from the Great Kei River
Mouth.
The Launch is tide
and weather dependant and can either be a hair rising dash through huge
breakers to the back line or a quiet skip across the white water.
This is one of the most unpredictable launches in the country, but the
rewards of a fabulous catch are worth it! The years of experience of
doing this launch makes Clint a favored skipper who has shown many safely
through the mouth.
We have an extensive
network of trails and tracks that meander through the farm. Walk
freely through stunning indigenous bush and forests searching for wild
game; from the huge Kudu to the tiny blue Duikers. Warthogs, Impala,
Bush Buck and Bless buck roam the farm, and you will bump into an Nguni cow
or two!
The bird life is
prolific; Crested Cranes, Fish Eagles, hawks, herons, Laurie, the list
is impressive.Fly-fishing and
bass fishing is available on the farm dams.We have our own Tennis Court in the garden.
