Activities to do while in Wakkerstroom

Wakkerstroom is world renown for its birding because of the very special grassland birds and a number of endemic birds in the area. There are beautiful wild flowers such as wild grass orchids, disa, watsonia, aloes and pokers during summer; many being special Drakensburg flora. The vast wetland is RAMSAR listed and protected. Being a high rainfall area means there are dams for fisherman and bass is the main fish caught. A private (paid) trout dam is also an option for fishermen. The area is a myriad of dirt roads suitable for walks and mountain biking and high altitude training. Hikes on cattle paths or dirt roads, over the mountains, and alongside rivers and past local farming and rural life are possible. With a number of small one horse town in the greater area like Groenvlei, Luneburg, Utrecht, Dirkiesdorp, Paul Pietersburg and Amersfoort for those on off-road bike rides, allowing a different ride each day. Paragliders have also enjoyed the mountains.

With beautiful quaint venues, many within walking distance of the churches, Wakkerstroom is a special town for destination weddings.

The sunsets can be spectacular, and with all the nature surrounding, photographers will be in their element!

And then of course, for those wanting to relax, DeKotzenhof has a number of games and puzzles, and each room hosts its very own bookshelf, laden with good reads. So put your feet up and chill, and then enjoy the delicious food that we are so well known for.
