This farmland is situated 35km from Dundee and 25km from Nqutu. The farm is located in the Endumeni Municipality about 1km from the Van Rooy's Steel bridge, crossing the Buffalo River and entering into the Municipality of Nqutu. The river is 500m from the R68 on a very accessible gentle slope.

In the past, water has been pumped from the Buffalo River "dam". This is also the second last irrigation point on the river before it continues it's flow downstream into the Tugela and out to the sea.

WATER HOLDING CAPACITY
Because of the massive rock outcrop daming the river in dry periods, the part of the river in question
holds back the water for at least 2300m but often more than 5000m.
The estimated constant water holding is 294,400 to 640,000 cubic liters at any time with a constant
inlet.
(2300m of river length x 1.6m deep x 80m wide). Obviously, in times of flood, the river carries more

lands in the past 15 years.
The “damming” is due to a massive rock outcrop feature in the river on the border of the property

The width of the river is 80m wide in dry periods and roughly 1.6m deep (1.2 to 2.2m where
measured). During high rainfall periods, the river can be 140m wide.

RIVER CAMP
The River camp is 112ha in extent with the majority being arable land. This is the ideal site to plant

days. Its since been removed. The mother centre irrigation line is still present. It has a natural strong
border with the buffalo river. And the ground adjacent the river too have a natural bordery of the
Ncome river. This keeps the area clean of any settlements.
