T here is still a place where you can find peace and tranquility, a place where you can relax, unwind and become one with nature. The Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate is such a place; a place where everything comes together, naturally. Serengeti … it all comes together here. A designer suburb surrounded by hectares of vast, open space and a variety of wildlife and facilities has risen in a prime location in Gauteng. The Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate is a new, mixed-use city in Gauteng, completely selfcontained and secure, with everything inside its perimeter that discerning owners, their families, investors and visitors desire to relish. Given its excellent location and accessibility, just 15 kilometres from O.R. Tambo International Airport and with easy access to both Johannesburg and Pretoria, it is unlikely that land of this size, 780 hectares to be exact, will ever become available again for residential property development. Spacious by design with a design vision that embraces a sense of wide open spaces and an abundance of wildlife, there is room to breathe here, to explore and to simply be content as a family in the great outdoors. And, although you are close to a bustling city, Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate manages to create a sense of tranquility. In recent times, many so-called ‘luxury’ property developments are 22 characterised by a developer squeezing in as many homes as possible onto a small piece of land. In Serengeti the opposite is true. The estate’s aesthetic guidelines have been incorporated into Serengeti’s regulations not to limit the personal preference of the individual but to make sure that there is harmonious flow integrated with nature. The estate has 350 hectares of land set aside for conservation purposes where various game including steenbok, impala, springbok and blesbok will be released. A living, breathing Estate with many families already living on Serengeti, the estate is maturing into an enclosed suburb with a true sense of community. This has been achieved through creating a meaningful place for worldclass, diverse facilities, allowing you to relax in the knowledge that your every need has been met within your immediate surroundings. The Curro Serengeti Academy offers an educational element to the estate and is a private school, which opened in January 2012 and caters for 1200 pupils from pre-school through to high school. Serengeti’s 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is one of the main attractions at the estate with the stunning club house being a strong feature. The club house, which spans two floors, is over 5 500 square meters and boasts panoramic views of the golf course and estate. The world renowned golf course named Masai Mara has rugged grasslands and dunes, and the 9 hole course, named Whistling Thorn, features classic design elements. There is a fully equipped golf pro shop, golf academy with professional PGA coaches, and a well equipped gym. Website: www.serengeti.co.za Contact: 011 552 7000 Email: [email protected]
