Nestled in the scenic heart of Mpumalanga, Doornkop Fish & Wildlife Reserve offers a unique blend of natural beauty, tranquility, and outdoor adventure. For those seeking not just a getaway, but an investment in a lifestyle filled with fishing, wildlife, and family moments, becoming a shareholder at Doornkop is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
A Shareholder’s Story: Meet Eddie Crocker
To better understand the value of being a shareholder at Doornkop, we spoke to Mr. Eddie Crocker, a long-time shareholder since 2005. His journey with Doornkop is a testament to the reserve’s lasting appeal and the meaningful experiences it offers.
Why Doornkop?
For Eddie, Doornkop was a natural fit after selling his farm. “We were looking for a place with fishing, bush, and animals,” he shared. The reserve’s diverse range of outdoor activities and wildlife immediately drew him in. With its serene dams, abundant game, and bushveld landscape, Doornkop offers an idyllic escape from city life.
Family, Friends, and Memories
Doornkop isn’t just about the natural environment; it’s about the memories you create with loved ones. According to Eddie, some of his fondest moments have been family gatherings, such as celebrating his 80th birthday and spending Christmas and Easter together. Whether it’s fishing by the dam or enjoying a braai under the stars, the reserve is a place to connect and create lasting memories.
What Sets Doornkop Apart?
Eddie highlights that one of the things that sets Doornkop apart is its accessibility. “The travelling time from Johannesburg is a big plus,” he says. Located just a few hours from the city, the reserve is close enough for a quick getaway, yet remote enough to provide complete relaxation.
Making a Difference as a Shareholder
As a shareholder, you’re not just investing in property; you’re becoming part of a community that cares about maintaining and enhancing the reserve. Eddie has taken a personal role in improving his unit over the years, even serving on the board. “I’ve taken time to assist with maintenance of Unit 17 and added two stainless steel braais,” he mentioned.
Would He Recommend It? Absolutely.
Eddie is such a firm believer in Doornkop that he’s already encouraged his daughter to invest. “I advised my daughter to invest in a week in Unit 25, and I’ve taken an additional week in Unit 16,” he said. This is more than just a place to visit. It’s a long-term investment in relaxation and quality time with family.
The Wildlife and Natural Beauty
From game drives to nature walks, Doornkop offers shareholders a chance to immerse themselves in the wild. “All animals and the walks, especially the waterfall, always catch my attention,” he shares. The reserve’s untouched landscapes and diverse wildlife provide endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation.
Looking to the Future
As Doornkop continues to grow, shareholders like Eddie are excited for what’s to come. He looks forward to further use of the reserve by his family and friends and hopes for improved amenities like better internet access. The reserve is continually evolving, offering more reasons to invest for future enjoyment.
