TONEVALE GAME RANCH: WHO WE ARE? Tonevale Game Farm was established in June 2003 on a 500 ha portion of natural bush adjoining a working sugar cane farm. As of 2009 The Game Farm has become exclusively a Game Ranch and has extended to 600ha. At the time, when the game fence was erected, a small group of animals such as duiker, impala, kudu and nyala occurred naturally in the area. In 2003 a programme was started to re-introduce natural species. In October 2003, two giraffe from Imfolosi Game Reserve were introduced as well as small breeding herds of impala, wildebeest, warthog, nyala and zebra. Over the next few years,
more species were introduced including two white Rhino in September
2005. All the introductions have been extremely successful and in
October 2005 we welcomed the birth of a baby giraffe followed shortly
thereafter by a baby rhino not to mention countless young of the other
species. The management of Tonevale Game Farm have developed the land
in an environmentally sensitive manner, embarking on an alien plant
eradication programme and encouraging the return of natural vegetation.
A pleasing result of this is the return of abundant bird and small
mammal life to the area. |
