“Quality is the best business plan” – John Lasseter, Pixar

While Tembani Wildlife isn’t in the movie business, this is the business plan that it prescribes to. Ever since this operation started in 1996, the Mortons have had one goal in mind: to produce ever better quality animals, year on year. Tony and Richard Morton privately own Tembani Wildlife, a 4670 hectare private game reserve situated 25km from the town of Thabazimbi in the Limpopo Province. They are known in the industry for their honesty and integrity.  Steve Jobs once said: “The only way to do great work, is to love what you do”. In this regard, the Mortons are on a winning wicket.

New genetics are continually being introduced and only the best mother stock is used. Their track record also reflects this belief. Tembani has managed to breed 38 sable bulls exceeding the 50 inch mark with 2 bulls over the 55 inch. Their hard work in buffalo breeding has started to pay off having measured 5 buffalo bulls exceeding 50” the last 2 years. This is a testament to their winning formula.

Current breeding bulls include:

  • Sable: Kibu 54”+, Deuce 51 2/8”, Variani 50”, Sollie 51 2/8”
  • Buffalo: Jupiter 53”, Bassa 52 6/8”, Spirit 49”+ (young bull)
  • Roan: Quagga 33”

Tembani is also well known for breeding the following species:

  • Livingstone Eland (the breeders of the famous Dawid)
  • Impala, Normal, Black, Saddle, White Flank and Dappled
  • Wildebeest, Kings and Golden
  • Gemsbuck, Normal and Golden
  • Nyala
  • Kudu (the part owners of the record Kudu bull, Mr Wow 76 7/8”)

While Tony and Richard are full time, hands on farmers, they also employ the expertise of Marnis Moolman (Manager). This team is passionate about the industry and firmly believe in operating with the high standards and integrity that their clients have come to expect from Tembani Wildlife.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to visit Tembani Wildlife and see for themselves.
