Fort Beaufort - Tsolwana Game Reserve

50km/31mi north of Fort Beaufort (and west of Sada) is Tsolwana Game Reserve (area 10,000ha/25,000ac), established in 1979, which lies at heights of between 1,300 and 1,800m (4,265 and 5,900ft) in a relatively rainless area. After rain does fall, however, a luxuriant vegetation comes to life. The fauna includes rhinos, giraffes, mountain zebras and various species of antelope. The reserve can be explored by car on unsurfaced roads or on conducted walks; there is accommodation for visitors in old farmhouses.
