Borakalalo Game Reserve, Game reserve in North West, South Africa
The 13,500-hectare reserve contains woodland, open scrubby bush, and the Moratele River that flows through dense forests to Klipvoor Dam.
The reserve was established as an IUCN category IV protected area focused on maintaining habitats for native species in the Transvaal region.
The name originates from local language meaning place of peace, reflecting the philosophy of nature conservation in South African protected areas.
Located 60 kilometers north of Brits, the reserve features 100 kilometers of gravel roads suitable for both 4x4 and standard vehicles.
The reserve houses 350 bird species, including the African finfoot and white-backed heron, alongside leopards, rhinoceros, and multiple antelope species.
