Retirement is about having the freedom to live life exactly as you choose. It’s about enjoying your morning coffee at a relaxed pace, taking a late-afternoon stroll through nature, discovering new hobbies and spending more time doing the things that enrich your days.
Part of the ATKV Group, Negester Klein-Kariba retirement estate offers a lifestyle where every day is an invitation to embrace life, surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of the South African bushveld.
Modern comfort meets natural splendour
Nestled within the magnificent Waterberg Biosphere, a UNESCO-recognised conservation area, Negester Klein-Kariba offers a lifestyle where nature and modern comfort exist in harmony.
Located just outside Bela-Bela and only an hour’s drive from Pretoria, the estate combines peaceful country living with convenient access to essential services, shopping centres, medical facilities, golf courses and local attractions.
As spring arrives, Negester Klein-Kariba transforms into a vibrant retreat filled with colour and life. Indigenous trees begin to bloom, budding wildflowers brighten the landscape and the bushveld awakens to the sound of birdsong.
It is a beautiful reminder that every chapter of life has something special to offer, and retirement can be one of the most rewarding seasons of all.
Retirement living reimagined

Stay active and connected
For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the estate offers an excellent variety of recreational facilities.
Residents can explore scenic walking, jogging and mountain-biking trails that wind through the beautiful bushveld landscape. Tennis courts, jukskei courts, a heated swimming pool and a putt-putt course provide plenty of opportunities to stay active while enjoying the outdoors.
The welcoming clubhouse lies at the heart of the community. It is a place where neighbours become friends, social gatherings bring people together and shared experiences create lasting memories.
