Unspoilt bush, hikes amongst game, hidden rock pools – and pure serenity
Less than 90 minutes from Pretoria, between the N1 and Botswana, lies the Waterberg, one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets. The area, virtually on Gauteng’s doorstep, now enjoys global recognition via UNESCO as the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve.
Wouter Schreuders, owner of the Bateleur Nature Reserve in the area, says hiking and rock climbing have always been his family’s preferred pastimes.
“Since 1984, we and our neighbours have managed to consolidate a number of farms that jointly form a crater, or escarpment. Visitors are awestruck.”
