Lissataba Nature Reserve:
Lissataba Private Game Reserve is a secure, low-density wildlife estate located approximately 50 km outside Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Lowveld. The reserve offers a unique opportunity for homeowners to live within a protected bushveld environment where wildlife roams freely and nature takes precedence.
