The diversity of the plant and animal life on the farm, is a monument for the Moolmans’ strive towards eco-friendly farming. This farm is being conserved for the already born fifth generation due to their application of sustainable re farming and anti-erosion policies.

We strive to assist visitors to experience a wide range of adventures and when the crackling sound of the camp fire calls you at dusk, you can sit back and relax to ponder about the awesome experiences of the day.

We offer a wide range of adventures;  from the quietness found in the mountains where you can renew yourself in the greatness of nature, to the early morning beauty of dawn when you are greeted by the barking sound of the baboon look-outs, the gay sound of the twittering birds.
