ABOUT US
WELCOME TO GROOTFONTEIN NATURE RESERVE.
Grootfontein Nature Reserve has been in the Grobler family since 1939 when it was purchased by Piet & Pattie Grobler whose love for the land began the legacy of what was to follow over the coming 80 odd years.
The farm is located in the Waterberg Mountain Range in Limpopo. The closest town is Thabazimbi, a eco-tourism town that is malaria-free. The town has a scenic golf course and the Marakele Animal Sanctuary is well worth a visit.
Grootfontein is 1 hour's drive from Sun City and Pilansberg National Park where you can see the Big 5 from your car.
On Grootfontein, we have embraced a carbon-sensitive footprint. This means, you will enjoy hot showers powered by paraffin, fridges cooled by either gas or solar, lights powered by solar power and your cellphone can be charged by solar as well.
Cellphone signals are mostly terrible (ain't that great!), but we do have a Wifi Hotspot on request and can accommodate business travellers needing to stay in touch with the office and their customers.
