Escape to nature with this exceptional 4-hectare vacant plot within the Thabantle Wilderness Estate, an approximately 505-hectare fenced private wildlife reserve in Botswana's South-East District.
Situated approximately 50km south of Gaborone and close to Lobatse, Thabantle offers the rare combination of genuine African wilderness and convenient access to the capital.
The reserve is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu, smaller antelope species, leopard, brown hyena and other indigenous bush animals, together with abundant birdlife. Residents can enjoy the freedom of self-drive game viewing, hiking, mountain biking and 4x4 trails within the reserve.
The estate features scenic views across the surrounding hills, with a picnic area near the
river that flows towards Nnywane Dam. The nearby dam adds to the area's recreational appeal, including opportunities for bass fishing.
The 4-hectare plot provides an ideal canvas for a private bush retreat, weekend home or nature-inspired getaway. A maximum built area of 250m² is permitted, with the design required to blend harmoniously into the surrounding wilderness.
The estate provides a secure and well-managed environment, with an electric perimeter fence, two locked access gates reserved for plot-holders, maintained internal roads and a resident Estate Manager. A constant metered water supply is available to the property and is controlled by the estate.
A monthly levy of BWP 1,250 contributes towards the maintenance of roads, boundary fencing and the management of the game.
The first lodge within the estate is currently in the planning stage, adding further potential to the development of this unique wilderness destination.
With neighbouring properties potentially removing their fences in future, there is also longer-term potential for the reserve and surrounding area to develop into a larger wildlife conservation area.
Whether you are looking for a private weekend escape, a nature-focused home or an investment in Botswana's growing wilderness and tourism sector, this 4-hectare property offers a rare opportunity to own land within a private game reserve environment.
