Property Description
Mahlathini Game Reserve is an Agricultural-zoned game reserve situated approximately 10 km from Phalaborwa in Limpopo, directly bordering the eastern boundary of the Kruger National Park. This listing comprises one stand of approximately 20 ha (200 000 m²) within the reserve, forming part of a contiguous wildlife corridor that allows animals to roam freely between the private reserve and the Kruger. The terrain is characterised by open plains, koppies, dense bushveld, and two dams, supporting a rich diversity of wildlife including giraffe, zebra, and buffalo. The stand offers sweeping views across the koppies and bushveld, providing an ideal canvas for a private safari retreat, boutique eco-lodge, or sustainable conservation investment. Road access to the property is confirmed. The property is offered vacant, allowing a purchaser full flexibility to determine the development concept and approach, subject to applicable Agricultural and environmental planning requirements. The proximity to Phalaborwa Airport (approximately 6.8 km), the Kruger National Park Phalaborwa Gate (approximately 8.2 km), and the Phalaborwa town centre (approximately 7.7 km) provides practical accessibility while maintaining the seclusion and wilderness character that defines this offering.
