Geocache Description:


Ezemvelo Nature Reserve is situated on the Bankenveld, 20 km outside Bronkhorstpruit and only 45 minutes from Pretoria, which is the transition ecotone between the grassland and savanna biomes. Ecologically this is very valuable as elements of both biomes occur within the reserve, creating a very rich biological diversity.

The 10 000+ha reserve is naturally divided into about 4 000 ha of well preserved grasslands and associated rocky out crops and wetlands. The clear waters of the Wilge River cut through the reserve forming beautiful gorges and valleys of colourful Wilge River sandstones. The bushy river valleys are home to extensive animal and birdlife. The savanna area dominates the rest of the reserve covering about 6000 ha and is characterised by the occurrence of many tree species.

The lovely open vistas of the grassland plains teeming with game are a reminder of times gone by. The wetlands and rocky areas are home to many specialised bird and insect species plus predators.
The hikes and trails have been developed in these areas to aquaint the visitor with the best opportunity to observe nature closely.
