Our farms
line 2

Situated at the foot of the Meletse mountain [meaning King of the Mountain], a careful rehabilitation programme has made our breeding farm one of the most sought after properties in the Limpopo Province.

The breeds currently on the farm include buffalo, sable, nyala, Livingston eland and exceptional herds of kudu, waterbuck, blue wildebeest and impala. We’re running a separate breeding program on our second Kalahari farm. Here, based on the unique natural environment, we focus on oryx, Kalahari & Damara springbuck and roan. The fact that we also extend our breeding activities to our other farms, means that we have the capacity to allow animals to breed and live in their natural habitat, whether in the open bushveld or arid Kalahari environments.

About auctions
line

Although we do occasionally participate in selected game auctions, we focus exclusively on those animals, whether when buying or selling, that authentically represent the Meletse philosophy of staying true to the purity of the original breed, while committing to the highest levels of hereditary genetics across the herd.

You’ll find Meletse specimens being exclusively represented on prestige auctions, where industry leaders have invited Meletse to showcase our animals.

See below for any upcoming auctions where Meletse breeds will be on show.
