Sandveld Nature Reserve, Protected area in Free State, South Africa

Sandveld Nature Reserve encompasses 37,000 hectares of land at the convergence of Vaal and Vet Rivers, featuring sandy terrain and thornveld savanna.

The establishment of nature reserves along Bloemhof Dam led to the creation of two distinct conservation areas: Sandveld on Free State side and Bloemhof Dam Reserve in North West.

The Free State Tourism and Parks Board manages this conservation area to protect local ecosystems while allowing visitors to experience South African wildlife.

The reserve provides designated trails for hiking and wildlife observation, with white rhinoceros, giraffes, and various antelope species visible throughout the protected area.

Located at coordinates 27°44′S 25°38′E, the reserve contains specialized plant communities that thrive in sandy conditions alongside seasonal wetlands near Bloemhof Dam.

Location: Free State

GPS coordinates: -27.73330,25.63330
