Opportunities galore with infrastructure to match!

Roughly 70km past Thabazimbi towards Botswana in the Cumberland area lies this 1523Ha game breeding and hunting farm.

Apart from extensive infrastructure, the 2nd most prominent feature here is no doubt the vast open grasslands since the owners correctly applied selective de-bushing principles, not only creating useful hunting pastures but also stimulating grazing capacity throughout.
