Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, Protected natural area in Gauteng, South Africa.
The Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve spans 13,337 hectares of diverse terrain, including kloofs, ridges, plains, and marshlands between 1,545 and 1,917 meters above sea level.
The reserve received its name from General Hendrik Potgieter's party in 1836, who discovered sweet reeds growing in the area, later associated with Protea afra.
The reserve maintains the Diepkloof Farm Museum, which preserves local agricultural heritage and educates visitors about the region's traditional farming practices.
Visitors can access 66 kilometers of hiking trails, a 60-kilometer game viewing route, and various accommodation options including chalets and camping facilities.
The reserve protects the diminishing bankenveld grassland ecosystem and provides habitat for 200 bird species alongside numerous mammals including cheetahs and brown hyenas.
