The cache is the second of my caches that you will find hidden along the main trail (Bloubos Trail). The cache is hidden just a few meters off of the trail itself under some rocks. My series of caches placed in the reserve, will take you along a route of just under 10km, this is the route I run on almost a daily basis.
The 650ha Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, just 11km south of downtown Johannesburg, is an oasis of calm amid the bustle of the city. Among the largest nature reserves in the Johannesburg metropolitan area, Klipriviersberg (meaning “stone river mountain”) was proclaimed in 1984 to preserve the area’s rich biodiversity and archaeological sites.
The reserve is home to more than 600 plant and 150 bird species. Zebra, red hartebeest, black wildebeest, blesbok, duiker, springbok and mountain reedbuck roam freely in the reserve.
For a copy of the trails in the reserve, you can access the map HERE.
Reason for 1.5 Rating:
The trail to the cache is along a pretty flat trail that has a total elevation gain of +/- 15m. The trail is a combination of a single and double track. A short hike of just 2km from the main entrance into the reserve will bring you to GZ. To the seasoned cacher it should be a relatively quick find.
