RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE

Rietvlei Nature Reserve is situated South East of Pretoria and is run by the Council of Tswane.

While it does not have the big five it is great for a day visit or even for a weekend as there is accommodation available in the form of chalets.

There are numerous antelope, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra etc. as well as some great bird hides
from which you can view the abundant bird life.

Once a year, around January, parts of the reserve is covered in a thick carpet of purple and
yellow flowers as can be seen in the image of the zebra below.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

Spent a week in Kruger where we had some great sightings. This was the first time that we saw a cheetah which was sitting in the middle of the road just outside Satara. The sighting was however spoiled by other cars pushing in and chasing the cheetah away.

AUSTIN ROBERTS BIRD SANCTUARY

The Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary is a nature reserve located in the Walkerspruit Open Space System, which is in the Nieuw Muckleneuk suburb of Pretoria, in South Africa. It is a great place to spend a few hours just to unwind.
