Kwalata was started by the late Heinz Heuser in 1988. Driven by his passion for nature it has grown into a premier hunting destination in South Africa. He believed in the beauty of the area so much that together with Clive Walker from Lapalala Wilderness and Dave Metphin Touchstone, he started the waterberg conservancy, which led to the Biosphere Reserve being born.

The property has been passed down to his son Reinhard who continues to make sure that the farm is run with the highest integrity. "Kwalata is my home that I love and have known most of my life, the business is driven by passion and it is this passion that we will put into the holiday that you share with us."

Southern Africa really is incredibly diverse in landscape, wildlife and in culture, the real Africa begins with Kwalata.

Kwalata is situated in the heart of a biosphere reserve in the magical Waterberg region of the Limpopo Province. This means that Kwalata is not only the premier wildlife area, in fact a sanctuary for rare and endangered animals, it is also one of the worlds richest ecosystems.

As a result, Kwalata has an abundance of game, allowing you to enjoy the best of absolutely everything. You will view a huge amount of Plains Game such as Eland, Gemsbuck, Impala, Waterbuck, Zebra, Blesbuck, Blue Wildebeest and even a few of the rarer species such as Nyala and the Tsesebe. In addition Kwalata also has all the big game we love so much, the Elephant, White Rhino, Cape Buffalo and the Leopard. To provide the musical accompaniment to your holiday there are also over 270 bird species. The thriving vegetation includes a huge diversity of plants and an abundance of indigenous trees. All of this makes Kwalata the ideal place to get as close to nature as humanly possible. So whether you want to soak up the spectacular views, marvel at the prolific birdlife or savour the diverse and rare flora Kwalata is where the real africa begins.

Wheter this is your first trip to Africa or you are a seasoned regular, there is plenty to keep you occupied, whatever your mood. Choose from game drives in our open top four-wheel-drive vehicles which allow completely unobstructed views, horse rides to suit all levels of riders or guided nature hikes with a highly skilled ranger. Or if you prefer just relax while taking in the panoramic view from the cliff top pool.

In the Bushveld region of the Northern Province getting away from it all becomes easy and enticing, the natural beauty and startling diversity of the bushveld Savannah and very large animal population will entrance you, it also houses the magnificent Waterberg Mountain range.

The Waterberg Mountain range is one of South Africa's lesser-known geographical wonders. The range is bluish in colour and offers spectacular views, lush valleys and peace and quiet away from overcrowded tourist centres. This area is steeped in history that dates to the stone-age. Nestled in and around this superb range are many game reserves and conservation areas waiting to be discovered by nature lovers wanting to view both the natural beauty and the many diverse animals that Africa has living in their natural habitat.

Few places in the world will touch and inspire as this beautiful land will. For the tourist there is a solid infrastructure and modern conviences abound.
