The Re-Wilding of a beautiful mountain and a Conservancy is born.

In 2002 Allen & I took a Leap of Faith, and decided to move to the Eastern Free State, to a small farm left to me by my father, a third generation Eastern Free State farmer.

PIP PIP HOORAY Cherry Seasons on its way.

There simply cannot be anything more luscious than fresh succulent cherries, and the very best cherries in South Africa are grown in the Ficksburg/Clocolan districts not far from Amohela ho Spitskop.

“Up in this air you breathed easily, drawing in a vital assurance and lightness of heart. In the highlands you woke up in the morning and thought: Here I am, where I ought to be.”
― Karen Blixen, Out of Africa

Christmas and Summer Holidays at Amohela ho Spitskop in one of the last QUIET PLACES to be found on a busy planet.
No noise, no traffic, no crowds, indeed this is a place where great family memories are made.

This is where much of the UTTER MAGIC of this wonderful Getaway, even and apart from the stunning self catering cottages, lies, in the iconic privately owned mountain, where guests can roam and explore, where you can come walk with us where once, long ago, Dinosaurs roamed.

One of the beautifully endearing things about those absolutely wonderful walks at Amohela is the finding and examining of spoor and tracks and all the signs of the animals, birds and insects that share this protected re-wilded Conservancy.
We invite you to Experience this beautiful Retreat & Conservancy, to enter the Magic of Amohela ho Spitskop, and to come and do some of your own beetle tracking.
