RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE SAFARI

TThe Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Irene (neighbour to Centurion) lies very close to the highway between Pretoria and OR Tambo International Airport at a height of about 1700 m above sea level, which is about 300 m higher than Pretoria. There were always some small mammals on the farm Rietvlei. The Rietvlei Nature Reserve has been restocked with game that is endemic to the highveld and is now home to large herds of game and because of its open grassland landscape it offers visitors a unique opportunity to view many species of animals. Some of these occur naturally only in South Africa (for example the Black Wildebeest and the Blesbok). Other animals found in the Rietvlei Nature Reserve include the worlds largest antelope, the Eland, Burchell’s Zebra, Red Hartebeest, Springbok. Waterbuck, Reedbuck, Ostrich, two of Africa’s “big five” Buffalo and White Rhino, Bushpig, as well as a number of Black-backed Jackal, Mountain Reedbuck, Oribi, Grey Duiker, Steenbuck, Brown Hyena and Porcupine.
