The topography of the farm is generally flat, sloping north towards the Marico River that forms the northern boundary of the property with its associated flood plains. In general the vegetation consists of low to medium high, deciduous microphyllous trees and shrubs with a few broad-leaved tree species and an almost continuous herbaceous layer dominated by grass species. Dominant trees include thorn trees like the umbrella thorn Acacia tortilis, blue thorn Acacia erubescens and black thorn Acacia mellifera, with the shrub layer dominated by Grewia species. The grazing have been enhanced by the continuous sowing of Cenchrus ciliaris seeds. This is one of the best bushveld farms you will experience.

WATER
There are currently 2 reservoirs on the property that feeds to over 30 water troughs through a gravitational pipeline system. There’s also naturally occurring seasonal pans along the border and has water for extensive times throughout the season.

BUFFALO BOMA
The boma is located between the rotating pastures of the total area of the buffalo camp and was constructed with the idea to be able to capture the whole buffalo herd without the use of a helicopter which drops the costs of darting the animals by a huge margin. The boma consists of one camp and three compartments. The camp is big enough to contain the whole herd at once and 2 smaller compartments to hold animals that are being tested but the bigger camp can be used as well for testing once the herd is out again.

The dimensions of the boma are as follows:
• 100mx40m
• Built with steel and padded with conveyor belts
• Five water troughs in total
• Nine gates(Three on each side) in the big camp
• Three gates including the gate at the loading bay of the two smaller compartments
• Each compartment has an area of shade for the animals
• Feeding troughs
