Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve

Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve, south of Nieuwoudtville on the Bokkeveld Plateau, is one of the Northern Cape’s true hiking reserves. Its sandstone formations, deep kloofs, plateau vegetation and seasonal river crossings create a wilderness that feels more remote than its distance from town suggests. This is not a flower-viewing stop with a short path attached; it is a place for hikers who want to spend several days moving through a dry, intricate landscape.
