"Only 3 hours from Joburg and you are surrounded by the beauty of nature – wild animals in their natural habitat accompanied by beautiful bird sounds and the ability to walk freely, listen to and watch the animals.  A truly memorable experience!"

"What a wonderful stay. So relaxing, quiet, peaceful. No traffic, no noise, great weather, nice and dry... spent the whole 4 days recharging by the pool or by going for walks. Never managed to read so much of a book before! Will definitively come back. Thank you for the wonderful stay!"

"The farm is fantastic, so much history and legacy there and the staff was great. We had a great dinner at that amazing table, Sarah and Jacob are great hosts, Taryn and her horses were great, I had Captain, what a great horse. The lookout on the top was fantastic, what an amazing sunset. Our timing was perfect as we could open Sabbath at such an amazing venue."

"It was an unforgettable stay at Olievenfontein. Experiencing such a broad variety of animals, at times literally at an arms length, is something everyone must have tried at least once in their lives. The reserve is incredibly well maintained, the animals are visibly happy and the vegetation is breathtaking. I can highly recommend this reserve to anyone who enjoys the marvels of African nature and who values a peaceful and relaxing ambience."

"The stay was good - it was relaxing and Jacob and Sarah (The staff) assisted a great deal. The kids loved the game drive, thanks it was their first as young as they are. We will in future take a turn there. On our arrival my daughter noticed a giraffe and in excitement she told all in the car, my brother said she must be mistaken, it can't be, maybe she saw a tree - she then retorted "have u ever seen a tree that moves" and she is only five."

"Only 4 words: HOME AWAY FROM HOME . (although I must admit there are no giraffes in my little garden) Well decorated and cosy. Staff is superb and very professional. Braai at pool house is a must!"
