Bloemhof Dam Nature Reserve is a substantial game reserve around the Bloemhof Dam on the Vaal River — a well-equipped reserve with white rhino, diverse game and the fishing and boating facilities that make the Bloemhof Dam one of the most popular recreational destinations in the southern North West Province. The 22km gravel ride follows the reserve roads alongside the dam with consistent waterbird and game viewing.

What to Expect

Gravel reserve roads on flat dam-edge terrain. Easy and accessible — the primary draw is the waterbird viewing on the dam and the game encounters in the reserve. White rhino, various antelope species and an exceptional diversity of waterbirds on the dam make this one of the southern North West’s most rewarding wildlife riding destinations.
