At the heart of this nature reserve lies the Northern Drakensberg Landowners Association, a group of dedicated individuals who championed the establishment of this reserve. Their efforts have not only created a haven for eco- and sustainable tourism but also ensured the preservation of the land’s natural beauty.
Another important reason for this nature reserve construction is to connect the nearby nature reserves and act as a type of corridor between them for biodiversity to thrive. The reserve comprises 19 properties (11 of which are privately owned) and is committed to protecting and preserving this grassland biome. So, if you’re looking for another hiking destination in the Drakensberg, look no further.
