Weenen Game Reserve

The 5000-hectare Weenen Game Reserve contains acacia savanna landscapes with grasslands, thickets, and multiple waterholes supporting diverse wildlife populations.

The Department of Agriculture transformed this former tenant farm into a protected area in 1948 to address severe soil degradation from agricultural practices.

The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about South African wildlife conservation through guided walks and environmental programs.

The reserve maintains 47 kilometers of roads, two observation hides at waterholes, three picnic areas, and accommodation options including cottages and camping sites.

Both black and white rhinoceros species inhabit the reserve alongside 230 bird species, creating substantial opportunities for wildlife observation.
