What originally started as a maize and game farm of 2141ha named Boschpoort in 1972 has now become the internationally well known Mabalingwe Nature Reserve. Originally there were only Kudu's and Impala on the farm; in 1989 Hippopotami, Rhinoceros and Sable antelope were introduced on the farm. Tsessebe and other antelopes were added as time went by. In 1995 Elephants that were earmarked to be culled in the Kruger National Park, were relocated to Mabalingwe and in 1999 a disease free Buffalo breeding project was established in Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Province, which meant that disease free Buffalo could be introduced to Mabalingwe. Today Mabalingwe boasts the "Big 5", a large variety of antelope, small game and a very diverse bird population. The approximately 12000ha, that constitutes Mabalingwe with its 5400 or so shareholders is a very special place that its staff compliment of just under the 300 is very proud of.
