Four generations. One piece of earth.
From a farm in the highveld to a reserve in the bushveld.
In 1924, our great-grandfather Pieter Bosman bought 800 hectares of grazing land outside Wakkerstroom. He had no electricity, no tractor, and a wife who would later be remembered for refusing to leave during the 1932 drought.
A hundred years later, Bosman Boerdery still runs lamb, beef and free-range pork on that same farm — and her great-grandchildren still refuse to leave. In 2018, the family bought a 12,000-hectare wilderness in the Waterberg, Limpopo's malaria-free bushveld, and opened Bosmar — a working game farm with a lodge in the homestead, a restaurant open to the public, a fair-chase hunting operation, and a SAGRA-certified game-meat workshop. Four parts of the same single story.
Same family. Same earth. Different wildlife.
Conservation is not a marketing line.
60% of every stay goes back into the reserve, into anti-poaching, and into the surrounding community.
