Verloren Valei Nature Reserve

The Verloren Valei Nature Reserve spans 5,891 hectares of rolling grasslands and contains over 30 wetlands ranging from 2 to 250 hectares each.

The designation of Verloren Valei as a Ramsar site in October 2001 marked its recognition as a wetland system of international conservation importance.

The Friends of Verloren Valei organization works with local communities to implement conservation practices and promote environmental education throughout the reserve.

Visitors can arrange guided tours to observe the diverse wildlife, including three crane species, oribi, steenbok, brown hyena, caracal, and numerous bird species.

The reserve serves as a natural water system, functioning like a sponge in the upper catchment area, gradually releasing water to downstream regions in South Africa and Mozambique.
