Description
Nestled in the heart of the Elands Valley, is a true gem situated just 290 kilometers from Johannesburg close to Waterval Onder. This pristine property encompasses a sprawling 257-hectare valley, cocooned by some of the most picturesque mountain terrain to be found in the entire Waterval Boven district.
At our reserve, you’ll discover a haven that welcomes both you and your furry companions, offering pet-friendly private self-catering cottages and exclusive campsites along the tranquil banks of the Joubert Spruit whose water is pristine and consumed from source. As you unwind in this idyllic setting, take advantage of the opportunity to explore the surrounding landscape through a network of well-marked self-guided hiking trails. (carry a cup to consume the Joubert Spruit water directly from the Spruit) The experience promises to be nothing short of captivating, with a chorus of birdsong filling the air and breathtaking scenery that will beckon you to return time and time again.
The ecological harmony of the reserve is a testament to its commitment to preserving the natural world. Within this carefully contained ecosystem, you’ll encounter a remarkable array of wildlife, including bushbuck, baboons, klipspringers, duikers, steenboks, Vaal reedbucks, vervet monkeys, the occasional leopard, genets, rooikats, and rock pythons, to name just a few of the resident species. Moreover, the skies above are alive with the presence of various bird species, from the majestic black eagle and the stoic steppe buzzard to a variety of kites and falcons.
