Grootfontein Private Nature Reserve
About Grootfontein Private Nature Reserve
Grootfontein Private Nature Reserve is a 1,200-hectare bushveld farm located less than three hours from Gauteng near the eco-tourism town of Thabazimbi. This fourth generation working family farm welcomes all true lovers of the great African outdoors. Grootfontein is proudly OFF-THE-GRID! We are an eco-reserve and work purely with solar power and gas. The reserve offers rustic accommodation in four bush lodges and two campsites that are all unique from each other and perfect for short or long stays. Guests can enjoy hot showers powered by paraffin, gas fridges, and solar-powered lights. He
Grootfontein Private Nature Reserve is home to over 150 species of birds, 160 species of trees and a wonderful range of animals including zebra, giraffe, kudu, impala, waterbuck, bushbuck, blue wildebeest, nyala, waterhog and leopard.
A rustic weekend wedding! 20 people sleeping in lodges, plenty of camping spots! Self-catered or we can assist. Perfect for nature lovers and a friends and family-orientated wedding. No neighbours so no noise restrictions. A marquee can be organised.
Kids love Grootfontein! Get away from cellphones, Facebook...and BOND for a change...you'll thank us by the end of your visit! Sandpit, toys, rock pool...and a whole farm to roam.
You have the farm and endless views of pristine bush...just add the candle light (easy, since we are off-the-grid:-)
Lodges are deep cleaned - disinfected daily. Staff live in and are screened daily. Completely private - ask that your lodge is not serviced so you won't come into contact with anyone - just you, mother nature, roaring fires...the perfect breakaway!
Well-marked routes and an abundance of game - what more do you need for a self-drive safari? Stop along the way for sundowners with a view!
Self-drive or hike - we have trails for everything! Bring your family (furry and not) along for a unique adventure in the African bushveld!
Take a self-drive safari up into the mountains and have a romantic pic-nic or sundowners with beautiful views and complete privacy!
Beautiful campsites with unending views of mountains and plains! Braai pits, splash pools and viewing platforms in the midst of the African bush!
