Kalahari Genetics operates from a purpose-built, 19,000-hectare breeding facility near Askham in the Northern Cape. Built on five years of meticulous genetic planning and selection, we pride ourselves on genetic integrity by sourcing only the finest breeding animals from South Africa and Namibia, setting a new benchmark for quality in premium game breeding.
Kalahari Genetics focuses on enhancing pure Kalahari bloodlines across more than 20 indigenous game species, including oryx, springbuck, impala, wildebeest and eland to name a few. Each breeding programme is designed to improve adaptability to the Kalahari's extreme conditions while delivering high-performance genetics for breeders.
Led by Japie van Niekerk and Roy Barlow, the duo combine decades of experience, innovation and a passion for conservation. The goal is to advance South Africa's game breeding industry by providing breeders access to exceptional animals while ensuring the long-term sustainability of Kalahari species.
