Fauna
Currently the Nature Reserve carries about 500 animals which includes the following antelope: Kudu, Eland,
Gemsbok (Oryx), Red Hartebeest, Springbok, Common Duiker, Klipspringer, Steenbok and Grysbok.
Black-backed Jackal, Caracal, Leopard and Genet are some of the carnivores in the Reserve.
A number of large troops of Cape baboon also inhabit the Reserve. Vervet Monkeys, Honey Badgers (Ratel)
and Leguans have also been seen.
A small breeding herd of Burchells Zebra was introduced in 2010.
A small herd of African Nguni cattle roams freely in the Reserve.
All the animals are wild and live naturally off the veld with no human intervention. To encounter the animals
during a visit to the Reserve is a true wildlife experience.
