About Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve

Bordering the Wolkberg Wilderness, this incredibly scenic mountain reserve features crystal clear rivers, countless butterflies, waterfalls and lovely pools.

Swarms of colourful butterflies, intricate spider webs and awesome bird life make it a popular destination for hiking and birding. Part of its appeal is the awesome natural beauty characterised by rolling grassy hills, lush kloofs and indigenous forests.

An amazing variety of butterflies can be seen in the forests during late summer. Look out for the elusive Narina Trogon and Samango monkeys clambering in the treetops. Other forest-dwelling birds to spot are the Cape Parrot, Chorister Robin-Chat, Orange Ground-Thrush, Green Twinspot, Black-fronted Bush-Shrike and Barratt's Warbler.

Spectacular flaming acacias dot the grassy hills, some covered in thousands of white blossoms or stunning purple-red pods.

Directions to Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve

My next trip to Lekgalameetse is already booked and I spend as much time as possible exploring as much of this pristine environment as I can. It truly is addictive as every time you visit you find something new, from large black and yellow butterflies fighting to get to the brightest flowers, to the relaxing chorus of bird calls trickling down magically from the fores...
