Awesome break away for family to gather, half of us from the Kalahari and the other half JHB (sister and brother flew in from the UK)..
Loved the large farm house, very neat with great amenities, staff were very welcoming, chef was prepared even with the little ones, adding food items to the platters etc to accommodate them, house was serviced daily, did 3 game drives, each one on a different area of the farm, fed some of the Roan antelope with the kids which was a surprise Grootvallei arranged for the kids, Grootvallei happily allowed us to use their shooting range for some entertainment (rifle 6mm, 308 and .22 for the kids, shotgun for clay pigeon shooting and my .45 1911.
Can’t wait to return for a hunt with some friends, already started chatting to Neil about possible dates in August this year.

ALL staff members are polite and professional. I really...
Read moreA beautiful farm managed by a beautiful family with great staff members. The homely farmhouse made leaving even harder. With tame Nyalas, lechwes and a gaggle of geese keeping you company around the house, you can enjoy the rest of what the farm has to offer from your porch. Every afternoon the buffaloes, giraffes and numerous other forms of wildlife will make an appearance once more emphasising the harmony the farm has to offer between human and nature. It was hard leaving Grootvallei and I guarantee it would be hard for everyone els. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend grootvallei. Neat rooms, great facilities, crazy wildlife and...
