Fun, Relaxed and Breathtaking by

It was one of the best stays we had in a very long time. Nice and private with friendly staff. The owners, Christo Els and Kevin Simon together with their wives were fantastic host. Kevin even brought me one of the local newspapers to read. The river tubing was amazing not to mention the breathtaking views of unending landscapes and game. I will never forget Christo's wise words "You can't buy a farm with your head, you have to buy it with your heart" Love it

Great place by

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wilgerfontein, it was the ideal place to end our road trip. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The setting is idyllic, with great views across the Fish river. The game viewing was good and it was fun to do the 4x4 trails. Will definitely be back.

Peaceful retreat by

If ever you just need to get away from it all, this is the place to go. Great value for money, peaceful & relaxing.

We enjoyed seeing all the game during our game drives by

A big thank you to Elizabeth for the delicious warm bread , with which she spoiled us, it made us feel special!

Great birding and variety of antelope by

A very relaxing environment with plenty to see. Able to drive around as well as walk. Flora and fauna in abundance. Nature as it's meant to be. Warm accommodating hosts. Well worth a visit.

Waliking with the animals in the bush by

loved sitting on patio and being able to walk through the farm and see the animals. Staff excellent

A very pleasant Game Farm experience by

The walks, drives on your own with your people to see the animals and birds during the day and evening. At th time it was just to cold for "tubing" down the Groot Vis rivier running right past our accomodation. The staff are extremely helpful. Wood was provided and the stoep is a pleasant viepoint. The gas geyser may need a little attention in the one house, but I believe it will be sorted. It is VERY affordable for what you get in terms of game reserve experience.
