Faerie Glen Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Pretoria, South Africa.

Faerie Glen Nature Reserve is a protected area in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria, South Africa, covering rolling hills with grassland and bushveld vegetation. Three marked walking trails cross the terrain at different elevations, with the highest point giving a broad view over the surrounding city and hills.

The reserve lies on part of the farm Hartbeespoort 304, once owned by H. W. Struben. Old aerial photographs show the flood plain was ploughed for crops while the rest of the farm was grazed by cattle. It forms the western part of the Bronberg conservation area, declared in 1980.

The reserve takes its name from the adjoining suburb of Faerie Glen; the sources record no folklore behind it. Volunteers of the Friends of the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve meet at intervals to clear invasive plants and pick up litter. The grassy floodplain along the Moreleta spruit is important breeding habitat for cisticola and widow species, and the riparian vegetation for weavers.

The trails are clearly marked and manageable for most visitors, though the upper sections involve steeper climbs that require a reasonable level of fitness. The terrain offers little shade, so bring water, sunscreen, and sturdy footwear before setting out.

The ground beneath the reserve rests on rock formations that are more than 2 billion years old, among the oldest exposed layers in this part of South Africa. Walkers can spot these ancient stones directly along the trails without any special equipment.
