Likweti Bushveld estate
Likweti Bushveld Farm Estate is an eco-sensitive domain that takes pride in preserving the natural environment. The area of 710 hectares is a perfect piece of naturally preserved land. The freedom one experiences from living in large open spaces is met by the exhilaration of sharing the land with many species of plains game.
Likweti Estate provides a safe harbor for you and your family through means of a unique double security fence. Access to the Estate is through a 24/7 security monitored gated entrance.
The Lowveld truly has one of the best climates in the country and is as close to an endless summer as you will ever get. Hot summer days are perfect for fun around the pool or leisure reading under a tree, while winters are mild and very tolerable.
With its unique elevation and geography, Likweti has tolerable summer temperatures and a very mild winter. This part of South Africa really lends itself to outdoor living for you and your family.
Just a short drive from Mbombela, White River and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, Likweti Estate prides itself on providing many safe and enjoyable outdoor activities for the whole family: hiking, birdwatching or simply enjoying animals in their natural surroundings. Likweti Estate has all the facilities and unspoiled natural open spaces you could ever wish for.
White River – Witrivier
The small town of White River is on the Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route. It is situated in the heart of the Lowveld where fuchsia and the orange Bougainvillea blossom and row upon row of banana and avocado trees dominate the farmlands, at least the ones that don’t grow citrus fruit or macadamia nuts. It is a place of colours and vivid blue skies, but the town also has a lot to offer: there are chocolatiers, antiquarians and of course Casterbridge Centre, a unique shopping and lifestyle experience, situated on a hill right outside town. This cozy area has its own stores, restaurants, art galleries and a genuine coffee roasting facility, all of which are popular with locals as well as tourists.
