Faan Meintjies Nature Reserve

It's a nice place and a variety of animals. Roads are decent for any SUV. Unfortunately we didnt see any rhino but it was a good trip overall. Picnic area is decent but sadly there are alot of thorns. Overall was a pleasant experience.

It was a beautiful day. Saw alot of the animals listed in map. Picnic and braai area clean . Will be visiting their again soon . Will recommend for a family day out .Visited onPublic holidayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNo

A nice nature reserve. I visited briefly for the 2020 Vlakvark run. The ablution facilites at the starting/end point well spick and span for the day there were no showers for runners seeking to get cleaned up after the race. I also only saw two buck the entire 21km that I ran. The landscape is beatiful though, especially after recent rain. I am keen to return to ride the roads on my MTB. It should be very enjoyable. There are some nice steep climbs and obviously descents as well.

First time !!! Well preserved and plenty of animals! Friendly staff! Highly Recommended !

We stayed in the chalets over the weekend. One chalet had almost no water and our chalet had no kitchen utensils, microwave, kettle or even toilet paper. No linen were supplied. A sworm of bees made their nest in the roof and the whole place were full of dead bees. On top of that all the swimming pool were bone dry. Great potential but dysfunctional as with all things under the management of local government in SA. Stay away!

It was fun and the wild life is very good

Nice long drive, picnic area. Beautiful animals

Peaceful and nice wild atmosphere with fresh air

Pleasantly surprised as i had read a bad review. Animals seemed well kept. The braai area looked clean. Would have liked more info about animals in reserve. A booklet explaining breeding/feeding patterns etc. Would gladly have purchased one.

28/03/21 Myself and my son booked a Chalet at Faan Meintjies last night when we arrived they had given our Chalet to someone else. So they put us in chalet 1 instead of 3. I was upset but accepted it the chalet was lovely considering the disappointment. But they could spend a bit more time cleaning spider webs and the garden around the chalets. There is so much potential there to make it alovely resort I think they would have more visitors. If I was caretaker there I would make alot of changes around to draw more visitors. Was a little disappointed as didnt see much animals.
