 | HUNTING |
We are attempting to re-introduce all the fauna which used to roam the Bontebok Flats with the exception of
lion. (Our sheep would not
approve!!)
Controlled culling of excess animals takes place to finance the
introduction of more species, which include the threatened Oribi, which are
breeding well.
 | FISHING |

The many water conservation dams have been stocked with either bass or trout,
with yellowfish in the rivers. Excellent fishing in fantastic scenery is
available at R100 per rod per day.
See the 5.2kg rainbow trout caught in
one of our dams, only 300g less than the SA record!
 | GRANTA DAM |
Neil Wardle's 20 year dream of a large water conservation dam has reached
fruition! Stocked with fish and a haven for hundreds of waterfowl. The
dam is a feature of the Conservancy. It is a scene of tranquility for
fishing, canoeing and sailing. Enjoy the serenity.
 | BIRD WATCHING |
Our
area has a diversity of habitat and practically every group has seen a
"lifer". To counter poisoning and to attract hungry vultures away from
livestock, a vulture restaurant is maintained.
HAVE A LOOK AT OUR BIRDLIST!
 | WILD FLOWERS |
The
area is rich in wild flowers varying from the high altitude flora of the
mountain tops to sweet valley bushveld. Cycads, aloes, hairbells and ground orchids
abound in their season.
 | HIKING |
The old post office
has been converted into a hiking base camp sleeping 15 and is complete with flush
toilet and hot shower. The Bushman's Loop Trail has numerous rock art
shelters. The Old Railway Trail has a number of ruins, with every bridge and culvert
a work of stone-mason's art. Hike to the top of Mount Thomas for stunning views
across the Amatola's.
