KOPJES/ROCKY HILLS

These natural features are separated by valleys and watercourses which flow sporadically, the vegetation is transitional grassveld, and includes woodland on the southern slopes of the kopjes. Succulents and bulbous plants form a fascinating natural garden on the rocky outcrops. A climb up the kopjes for the more energetic and able is very rewarding and need not be too strenuous as each kopje can be tackled individually. The kopje to the east of the main dam is the steepest and the most difficult although a pre-school child could manage it with help. To walk all three kopjes consecutively in a leisurely way takes about 1½ hours and there are benches at scenic spots where one can stop, rest and enjoy the beautiful view of the garden.
