CONFERENCES

Get thinking in the peaceful country surrounds for your workshop, brainstorming, bonding or team building experience.

The Oxbow team specialises in creating a conference experience for small intimate groups of between 10 and 40 delegates.

Situated 1 hours drive from Johannesburg, just east of Pretoria, close to the Bronkhorstspruit dam, we specialise in hosting small groups for fly fishing conference packages as well as outdoor “walking 2 work” conferencing.

Whilst guests still have the conference room at their disposal for more formal sessions, they do work sessions and break aways amongst the meandering trout dams, under the weeping willows and along the highveld grassland paths lead by a knowledgeable guide.

NATURE, BIRDLIFE

Oxbow Country Estate is home to a unique water system that is fed from 3 springs sourced on neighbouring farms, as well as the Osspruit River. The original river course was changed in the early 1900’s when an earth dam wall broke cutting off a large section of the old river, this geographical phenomenon is called an oxbow – which naturally prompted the name.

Nurtured and improved in later years, these waters have now become a life source and haven to over 130 recorded species of birdlife, including abundant insect and aquatic species.

The waterways and wetlands are home to a variety of water fowl including the elusive Purple gallinule, Red-Knobbed Coots, Moorhen, Black Crake and the enchanting and feisty Little Grebes – otherwise known as Dabchicks. Giant, Pied, Half-collared and the magnificent Malachite Kingfishers can be seen hovering and diving on all the dams, and on a good day you might even be lucky enough to spot our visiting Fish Eagle or hear his telltale cry.

The gardens lovingly landscaped over the years, further enhance the tranquillity you will experience when visiting this estate in the country.
