Lodges book our Lowveld gate near Mbombela to plan seasonal venison supply windows and kitchen deliveries with our team.
Lodge chefs, kitchen managers and farm shop buyers come here to coordinate venison deliveries and plan the quietest loading days within the July to September harvest window. This visit point is strictly by appointment, keeping the process calm for the animals and smooth for our partners. If you run a lodge, game kitchen or restaurant in the Lowveld corridor, or manage a cold chain for a local farm shop, this is the right spot to organise your seasonal venison and get clarity on scheduled supply dates.
We make sure every order is traceable to named lots, slaughtered only at our registered partner abattoir, with all provenance and cold chain records in order. Our main focus here is practical planning, clear pickup windows, and working with you to fit supply into your own kitchen calendar.
The Mbombela gate sits on the edge of the bushveld, with Lowveld thorn trees and red earth stretching out beyond the fence. Here, you’ll hear sunbirds in the acacia and catch the warm, humid air that often rolls in from the riverside. In early summer, berg winds can bring sudden heat, while brief storms turn the air sharp and fresh.
Our gate office is set up for practical handovers: a shaded stoep, a small cold room with backup, and clear access for your bakkie or delivery vehicle. This gate is a collection point, with a steady rhythm of arrivals and departures as local kitchens collect their orders. We encourage a prompt, purposeful visit so that every cold chain handover is efficient and best for the venison.
All visits must be booked ahead of time, so we can organise both your supply slot and the gate team’s preparation. Send a message through our contact form with your preferred date, your lodge or kitchen details, and any specific supply requests.
Wear closed shoes or veld boots that are clean, as we maintain strict biosecurity at the gate. Please do not bring dogs or extra visitors, since this is a working supply point. Bring coolers or insulated boxes for your collection, especially in hot Lowveld weather. The handover is efficient, but give yourself enough time for record checks and to discuss menu or provenance notes with our venison provenance manager if needed.
The Mbombela gate is the hub of our Lowveld supply, linking the Lodge Supply fallow and red deer camps here and at Karoo Edge with the kitchens of Mpumalanga. All venison comes from our Lodge Supply camps under veterinary oversight, and our venison provenance manager tracks every lot from the partner abattoir to the gate cold room and your kitchen.
Each handover supports our broader goals: traceable farm-to-table supply, chef training on venison handling, and responsible use of veld resources. We keep records of every named lot, supporting both your menu’s story and our commitment to conservation breeding, animal welfare and the best use of each season’s harvest.
