Some Information About Groenkloof Nature Reserve:

Groenkloof Nature Reserve is located near the famous Fountains Valley. This valley on the southern outskirts of Pretoria was proclaimed as a game sanctuary by President Paul Kruger on 25 February 1895, the first in Africa. Its main purpose was to protect the shy and timid oribi that were found there and other game that were being wiped out by hunters.

After 1910, portions of the area were rented out for the establishment of commercial plantations for the delivery of wood and the production of paper, both of which were in short supply during the world wars. By the late 1950s, the City Council of Pretoria became the owner of the area.

Currently, big clean-up operations are being run to restore the original woody bush of the area.

Wildlife - The wildlife on the reserve include zebra, jackal, duiker, kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, ostrich, giraffe and sable. The rich birdlife will keep bird lovers busy for hours on end.

Vegetation - Groenkloof Nature Reserve features low, broken ridges varying in steepness. The vegetation is semi pen thicket, dominated by a variety of woody species, including Acacia caffra, Rhus leptodictya, Combretum molle and Dombeya rotundifolia. The under-storey is dominated by a variety of grasses.
