“Next year we are coming back again to the Kudu Amateur Golf Championship and I hope we can double the number we had here this year. We want to invite you to invite others next year to grow this event. I was so grateful in the day to meet a pair of golfers from Malelane in Mpumalanga who came to compete in this tournament for three days. What pleased me was the fact that they knew about this event from our
social media platforms. This gives us hope that our marketing efforts are coming to fruition and Limpopo Tourism brand is growing in bounds. We should also get together when we launch the Limpopo Golf Passport in January 2022”, said the CEO of Limpopo Tourism Agency, Mr. Moses Ngobeni.

The 860-hectare nature reserve alongside the estate is going to be incorporated into the estate allowing wildlife to roam free and it is situated close to the beautiful Nylsvley Nature Reserve that is home to over 400 bird spices.
