Great scenic nature reserve with good bird and game viewing
Overall rating
4/5

I have visited in all months of the year, sometimes camping.
The birding is very good, with many bushveld and some grassland species, including Chestnut-vented Titbabbler, Blue Crane, Brubru, Arrow-marked Babbler. The reserve is especially good for cuckoos in summer.
Game includes White & Black Rhino (the latter rare and difficult to see), Giraffe, Eland, Kudu, Red Hartebeest and other antelope. Black-backed Jackal are fairly common and can be seen during the day.
Accommodation includes campsites (some with electric plug points) and a five bed self-catering cottage. There is a hide and three picnics spots (one with ablution facilities).
There are good gravel roads covering most of the reserve and it's major habitats, as well as a self-guided walking trail. There is a viewpoint with stunning views over the Bushman's River.
