What's On Offer?

Investors in Limpopo-Lipadi Game and Wilderness Reserve buy shares in a Botswana registered company. Attached to these shares are certain rights and duties described below. Shares can be owned by individuals, companies or trusts.

Shareholder Duties

• For each share a Sole Beneficial User must be nominated - this is an individual person.
• Shareholders must abide by the terms of the Wilderness Agreement which sets out the manner in which the reserve may be used. The Wilderness Agreement is not a never-ending set of rules, more a set of principles that govern the use of the reserve in order that all may enjoy it.
• In common with other developments of this nature shareholders are subject to an annual Operating Levy that is agreed at the AGM each year.
• Shareholders must pay certain usage fees, for example for bedroom-nights in lodges and consumables such as game drive kilometres and firewood. These charges are agreed at the AGM each year.
• Levies and charges are kept as low as possible.

Shareholder Rights

• The SBU may visit and use the reserve and its facilities.
• The spouse or life partner of an SBU may also visit the reserve unaccompanied by the SBU with the same rights.
• Each share allows the SBU to book up to 2 weeks at the reserve at any one time.
• As soon as a booking has elapsed another may be made.
• SBUs may visit as often as they like within these limits and as determined by the relevant immigration laws of Botswana relating to maximum stays by foreigners (currently 90 days per annum).
• SBUs may undertake game drives, bush walks, use the viewing hides, picnic in the bush, fish in the Limpopo River and otherwise use the reserve within the terms of the Wilderness Agreement and with due consideration to other shareholders
• Those qualified and approved by the reserve management may self-drive the game viewing vehicles on the reserve
• Holders of 2 or more shares are entitled to use a self-owned game drive vehicle on the reserve subject to its approval for suitability by the reserve management
• A single share allows the SBU to book one 2 or 3 bedroom unit at a time.
• The holders of three or more shares may book two 2 or 3 bedroom units at a time.
• SBUs may bring as many (or few guests) as they desire subject to the limits of the accommodation they have booked. For example one 3 bedroom unit will accommodate up to 6 adults and 4 children.
• The holders of five or more shares may opt to combine them into a block and take ownership of a private site and build their own lodge (at their own cost). They may then visit this as often as they like (within immigration laws) with guests. Site owners also receive an allocation of free bedroom-nights at the reserve lodges each year.
• Accommodation is booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

So with Limpopo-Lipadi you are not tied to the same or rotating weeks each year, nor are you limited to a maximum number of visits or having to stay in the same lodge every time - we already have seven units to choose from at River Camp and more planned across the reserve.
