Forget property competitions - goodbye rain and recession � the chance to own a South African game reserve.

There�s more probability of being attacked by a tiger in Africa than winning a property competition, according to a British entrepreneur.

Nigel Broderick toyed with the idea of giving people the opportunity to win his entire game reserve in South Africa � complete with wild animals.

But once he looked into the detail, he decided the latest craze for property competitions to beat the recession is a waste of time.

�There�s been a rush in Britain recently to start up competitions to get rid of property by offering it as a prize�, says Broderick.

�The trouble is people don�t have spare cash, there�s very little take-up, and the Gambling Commission is watching your every move.�

Now the 730 hectare Khusela reserve, an hour away from Port Elizabeth, is up for sale in a more conventional way.

For �1.65 million, the buyer will get the entire estate, which includes a villa and a farmstead.

The reserve has been deliberately protected from the dangerous �Big Five� safari animals so the new owners can enjoy it safe in the knowledge that they won�t be eaten.

The non-predator policy means Khusela is home to a selection of protected species, including Black Wildebeest, Oribi and Bontebok, as well as giraffes and zebras.

South Africa has recently experienced a surge in interest from Britons wanting to buy property there.

More than 200,000 have moved there in recent years and Broderick believes the property market in South Africa will continue to thrive.

�With the recent peaceful election of the ANC�s Jacob Zuma as the new President of South Africa� he says �the country�s continuing stability is assured�.
