Struben Dam Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Lynnwood Glen, Pretoria, South Africa.
The sanctuary houses a reservoir containing 108,000 cubic meters of water, supporting fish species including banded tilapia, African sharptooth catfish, and Canary kurper.
The sanctuary originated from the farm Hartebeestpoort 362 JR, owned by F.E.B. Struben, with the dam construction estimated between the 1940s and 1960s.
The facility contributes to environmental education through organized programs that demonstrate the connection between urban development and wildlife preservation.
Visitors can access the sanctuary daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM throughout the year, with facilities including walking trails, restrooms, and designated picnic areas.
The sanctuary features bakenveld vegetation, creating a distinct transitional zone between grassland and bushveld ecosystems, with marsh areas below the dam wall.
