African Nature Experience
Stevensford Game Reserve is a 3500 ha private nature conservancy situated on the Limpopo River in Botswana’s Tuli Block. The Reserve is also a working game farm and is home to many species, including giraffe, zebra, eland, waterbuck, kudu, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, bushbuck, red hartebeest, impala, steenbok, duiker, aardwolf, aardvark, brown hyena, warthog, crocodile and hippopotamus. There are occasional sightings of leopard, cheetah, bat-eared foxes and bushpig.
The cottages at Stevensford Game Reserve are set within small private camps. All bedrooms have en-suite showers and premium quality beds with fine white cotton bedlinen and towels, ceiling fans and mosquito nets. Each camp has a private boma, fully equipped (with crockery, cutlery, pots and pans) for indoor and outdoor cooking on gas or on fire, and dining. Cooking and dining areas are under thatch and outdoor. Wood fires are lit for guests in the centre of paved or screeded patios, ideal for al fresco meals and stargazing evenings. Unobtrusive attention to high standards ensure guests’ maximum comfort in privacy, and the rare opportunity to completely enjoy the freedom of the wilderness.
For those who want to camp , there is a large shady campsite on the banks of the Limpopo which accomodates up to six four man tents around a centralised fire area with a flush toilet (the seat of which has a panoramic view of the Limpopo) and bush shower. Drinking water and firewood can be provided.
Accommodation is self-catering, unless prior arrangements are made with management. Should guests require part or full catered options, delicious, quality meals are prepared and graciously served in your private boma or at a centralised private dining area. Enquire about the “night sky special” – a three-course gourmet meal formally served under the stars in a remote area of the Reserve.
Birdlife is abundant and diverse at Stevensford Game Reserve. Megatick opportunities include the magnificent Pels Fishing Owl and the secretive African Finfoot. The Reserve offers an escape for individual and family alike, to enjoy a rare bush experience and safe, close encounters with wildlife.
Revive your soul in this pristine African ancestral environment- sunset over the Limpopo River and freedom in the wilds, unaltered throughout the ages. Cook out at the leisure in your equipped and serviced private lapa or enjoy the luxury of a fully catered stay.
