About Hiking in Rolfontein Reserve
Rolfontein Nature Reserve has been in existance for more than 40 years. The over 8000ha reserve surrounds the town of Vanderkloof from which the main gate can be entered. There are lovely hiking trails but prior arrangements have to be made for a guide to accompany you.
The Nature reserve is also surrounded by the Vanderkloof dam on 3 sides. Lookout points give spectacular views. There are lovely picnic spots where braaing can be done and legs stretched.
Your trip will take you past most game, roaming free like most antelope species and a famiy of white Rinos. The bird population is very big with over 100 species noted. The scenery is very varied - from kloofs to plains, plenty of happy sunshine, starry nights and surrounded by lots of water.
