OVERVIEW

Percy Fify Consserancy is a small bushveld reserve located between Mokopane and Polokwane.  It has an ongoing breeding program for roan antelope and disease-free buffalo .

On your bike

Cyclists can enjoy riding their bicycles between the Matopos-like formations on the 12 km tourist road or perhaps notch up the ride a little by additional cycling along some of the marked hiking trails (20 km). There’s plenty of indigenous hoofed game here, including buffalo. Get out there early for the best game-viewing opportunities.

Off the bike

You can hike when not on your bike and game drives are available.
