We have been approached by spring water bottling companies on numerous occasions due to the top quality of our spring water. Driekoppen will not disappoint the most experienced angler. A big congratulation to Handrè Kritzinger – who caught an area record of 4.93kg on Driekoppen Game Farm.
Hiking through the natural surrounds of Driekoppen is a totally unique experience, as this is the ideal and encouraged way to interact with all facets of nature available on the farm. The routes can take the form from a brisk two hour trek to a full day's hiking whilst savouring the sight of the game in a beautiful habitat, the ambient sound of the abundant bird life and the feel of the crisp cleanness of the air. The summit of Spitzkop is measured at almost 2300 meters above sea level and the summit of Witkop is measured at 2386 meters above sea level. Different routes offer various degrees of difficulty for both the mountaineer and rock climber. Driekoppen offers the ideal spot for the daring and adventurous, and for an interesting climb.

The area, within which Driekoppen is situated, is a bird watcher's paradise. We reintroduced wetland areas, ideal for birdlife to flourish in.

and natural waterfowl to name just a few.
