This is the fourth cache in a series of caches that will ultimately lead you to the Kliprivier Nature Reserve, where you can enjoy a day of game watching as you hike through the numerous trails in the reserve. The cache is hidden next to a feature that was build for the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup. It is opposite the entrance to a venue that payed host to the Mexican 2010 FIFA Soccer squad durning the tournament. Keep an eye out for the security gaurd of the venue, who may get suspicious if you are seen.
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.

This cache is also meant to be a quick roadside grab, however it can be made a little more challenging due the muggles that may be in the area. Looking in the right place, the cache should easily be uncovered, and the hint will definitely point you in the right direction, the cache name however, may be a little deceiving.
