Blouberg Nature Reserve, Protected area in Limpopo, South Africa
Blouberg Nature Reserve is a protected area in Limpopo organized around an isolated inselberg that shapes the entire landscape. The terrain varies from steep mountain slopes to flat savanna plains, creating diverse habitats throughout the reserve.
The reserve was established in the 1990s to protect the natural landscapes and wildlife of the region. Since its creation, it has been managed by provincial authorities focused on conservation efforts.
The reserve takes its name from the isolated mountain that dominates the landscape and holds importance in local heritage. It forms part of the Seraki-Blouberg Route, reflecting its significance as a natural landmark in the region.
The southern sections require specialized vehicles to reach, so visitors should plan their access carefully beforehand. Guided tours and accommodation must be arranged together to make the most of a visit.
The reserve hosts one of the largest breeding colonies of an endangered raptor species that nests in the cliff faces. A dedicated feeding station here supports these birds and draws wildlife watchers to observe them.
