A special place in our family’s story.
We are a Dutch family with a lifelong love of wildlife and nature. More than twenty years ago, a wonderful twist of fate gave us the chance to buy this special home near Kruger National Park. Ever since, Villa Appelblaar has been a place we love returning to.
We still visit several times a year and enjoy sharing the villa with friends, family and guests from around the world. For us, it is a place to slow down: coffee on the terrace, birds by the water and another day of adventure waiting in the park.
We hope you will find the same peace, adventure and connection with nature that have made this home so special to our family for more than two decades.
