Tussen-die-Riviere Nature Reserve

The 22,000-hectare reserve contains abundant wildlife including springbok, blesbok, red hartebeest, black wildebeest, blue wildebeest, mountain reedbuck, zebra, and white rhino.

The reserve has developed from a traditional hunting ground into a protected area that maintains a balance between conservation and regulated seasonal hunting activities.

The name Tussen-die-Riviere reflects the Afrikaans heritage of the region, translating to 'Between the Rivers' in English, marking its position between two major waterways.

Three hiking trails span different distances: Middelpunt at 7 kilometers, Klipstapel at 12 kilometers, and Orange River at 16 kilometers, each offering distinct terrain experiences.

The reserve features eroded dolerite pillars along the Klipstapel trail, creating geological formations that stand out against the Free State landscape.
