Hello! We are Isis and Kurt, and we warmly welcome you to Villa Visvanger. We hope you have a wonderful stay! The story of Villa Visvanger is the fulfillment of our African dream, a journey that began in 2013 with our visit to the Okavango Delta in Botswana and the Cape Region of South Africa. From that moment, Africa became an integral part of our lives, enchanting us with its rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, warm-hearted people, and unique way of life. Our travels have taken us to extraordinary places that have been difficult to leave behind, including Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, the Masai Mara in Kenya, and the Serengeti in Tanzania. Each destination strengthened our connection to this remarkable continent. Ultimately, we found our home in the Lowveld region near Kruger National Park in Hoedspruit, South Africa. In 2023, we embraced a unique opportunity to purchase a plot of land on the banks of the Zandspruit River. This marked the beginning of our journey to design and create Villa Visvanger, our African home. It is a place that reflects our love and respect for the South African way of life, its natural beauty, and its incredible people. "Visvanger" meaning "Kingfisher" in Afrikaans, represents the colorful and graceful bird known for its stunning plumage and swift, agile movements. These remarkable birds are commonly found along rivers with clay or sandy banks, where they engage in their characteristic activities of resting, flying, hunting, and diving. At Villa Visvanger, you can unwind with a sundowner on the river deck, where you might catch a glimpse of these glorious creatures in their natural habitat. Just as the Visvanger calls this quiet riverbank home, we have also embraced it as our African home base.

Stay in style on a private game reserve. Villa Visvanger brings the bushveld to you. Lounge by your private pool with a chilled drink in hand, and keep an eye out for wildlife strolling through the backyard—nature has never been closer. Villa Visvanger is located on a breathtaking 1000-hectare private game reserve, where African wildlife roams freely. The villa itself is set on a spacious 700-are plot, offering all the privacy and tranquility you could desire. As you unwind by the pool, you might spot a giraffe, zebra, or playful monkey nearby. The estate is fully fenced, ensuring safety while letting you enjoy the wonders of the bush without encounters with the Big Five. Approximately two-thirds of the estate is dedicated entirely to the animals, creating a serene wilderness area for you to explore.
