Please read Jonathan's review below;
"Jen (Welcome Africa) and Sheila are wonderful hosts. They were very attentive and helpful, always on hand to help. The place is beautiful; it is situated next to a lake that is around 100 meters walking distance from the house. The property is on a large plot of land; it's very quiet and feels like you're in the bush/on a safari. We even saw a buck and 2 zebra one night! The lake separates the hosts residence from the place of stay which makes it very private. There's a cute row boat for you to take onto the lake should you wish. The hot tub - which is near the lake - is fantastic and get's really hot during cold winter days. Henry the caretaker was always on hand to help us fire it up and keep it going so that we could get in whenever we wanted. The pool is beautiful and we didn't really use it as it was during winter time but it has lovely wooden loungers that you can relax on by the pool. The garage can fit 2 decent size cars but there is also parking for at least 2 other cars all inside the property. The property is enclosed with electric fencing and there are locks on all the doors for security. The house is lovely, the kitchen is a good size and has lots of glasses, crockery and cutlery. The living room has a fire place to keep you warm at night which is very relaxing to sit around and relax. The rooms are luxurious; the master is downstairs next to the living room which has a very large on suite bathroom with large hot tub. The 2nd room which is also on suite is adjacent to the master. In between the 2 rooms is a spiralling stair case which takes you up to the 4th shared room with 2 queen beds. The 3rd bedroom is next to the shared room up stairs and has an on suite bathroom. Both rooms open up to the up to the terrace with spacious outdoor furniture which is a pleasure to relax on. We had a lovely stay and really look forward to returning."

Lying in the beautiful Crocodile River Valley some 40 minutes from Johannesburg, to the south of the Magaliesburg Mountains, lies the Oori Private Game Reserve. (Oori is Tswana for Crocodile).

The total area of about 1800 hectares is made up of roughly 56 properties, all of which have done away with internal fencing in order to live in harmony with nature.

The commonly held belief is that human habitation has almost always been at the expense of the environment and the conservancy is attempting to change this and return the area to what it was – every game species reintroduced, every tree replanted and every bird species released is another step along the path.

The Oori Private Game Reserve lies within a transitional zone between grassland and bushveld known as Bankenveld – rolling countryside and rocky ridges, principally dolomite, where trees find some protection against fire.

Both the southern and eastern borders of the reserve are formed by the Crocodile River, once known as the Oori River by the Tswana people.

The Oori Private Game Reserve has already introduced 52 animals and residents are slowly planting indigenous plants and trees, replacing those exotics mainly around dwellings, striving to keep existing eco-systems intact.
