The Journey of wildsUitvlugt

It all started with a great love and appreciation for nature, when there was decided to acquire a small weekend getaway in the Bushveld.  It had to be close enough for quick travel but far enough to get away from the rat race.

In 1975 such place materialised in the form of Portion 22 of the farm Uitvlugt 79JR.  A small farmstead was built, and some cattle joined the picture, more cattle came, some sheep, more portions and extra rooms to the farmhouse.

When drought and Caracal plagued us, we sold the stock and erected a game fence to turn it into a Game Farm.   In 2012 WildsUitvlugt was born.

Kudu occurred naturally and we stocked it with some Impala, Waterbuck, Redhartebeest, Bluewildebeest and Zebra.  Later Nyala and Sable was added.

When the Old Folk moved to greener pastures the original farmhouse was turned into accommodation specifically for people with an interest in birding and nature in general.

Another portion was added in 2023, and WildsUitvlugt is now just over 500ha in total. The last portion also prides itself with the Engedi Safari camp.
