OVERVIEW - WOLWESPRUIT NATURE RESERVE
Southern Region Map

Situated upstream from the Bloemhof Dam and 30 km from the town of Leeudoringstad. This 2 800 hectare, small but scenic reserve conserves attractive riverine bush and is a popular birding, angling and hiking destination, along the tranquil river frontage environment. The main features are the Vaal River and riverine Salix bush community.
 
Wolwespruit Nature Reserve in the North West Province of South Africa
 

General
The birding opportunities are numerous and diverse in the various localised eco-systems. The park also conserves a variety of plains game and smaller mammals.

Wolwespruit is one of the least known of the North West parks and has retained much of the appeal of the natural riverine environment. Wolwespruit Nature Reserve is well known for yellowfish angling in the rapids with artificial lures and flies. Open picnic sites are provided.

Climate
Generally mild to hot but can be cold in winter especially at night.

Accommodation
There are rustic camping sites all along the river bank on the reserve which can be booked.
