Explore the beauty of Oudezwaanskraal game farm
Immerse yourself in the Highveld
Nestled on the lush, rolling grasslands of the Highveld, we offer the perfect escape, where nature and comfort meets
OUR HERITAGE
Set in the peaceful heart of the Highveld, Oudezwaanskraal Game Farm has been a sanctuary of natural beauty, with expansive grasslands, dam frontage, and rich biodiversity.
More than a destination — it’s a story of land, legacy, and the people who call it home.
What began as a family-owned game farm, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, has evolved into a unique retreat where nature, comfort, and community come together.
Over the years, Oudezwaanskraal Game Farm became known for its open landscapes, thriving wildlife, and tranquil dam views — a place where guests could slow down and reconnect with what really matters.
Our Philosophy
At Oudezwaanskraal, we believe in simple luxuries — the kind that can’t be bought, only felt.
The quiet sound of the wind through tall grass. The reflection of the sunset over the dam. The laughter of friends gathered around a fire.
Our approach to hospitality is grounded in authenticity and care. We focus on creating experiences that feel personal and effortless — supported by a dedicated team that values connection, service, and the natural beauty of our surroundings.
We operate with respect for the land, ensuring our activities and facilities enhance rather than harm the environment.
Every project, from accommodation to events, is designed with sustainability and comfort in mind.
