Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve is one of the most impressive
nature reserves in the Witwatersrand area.
Jozikids promotes the Koppies as a destination for tourists and
children in the Johannesburg area.
AA Travel Guides is the largest online travel database in South Africa.
It has links to the Melville Koppies on its Melville theme page
and on its Melville suburb description page.
Joburg City Parks manages the Koppies as a joint venture
with the Management Committee.
Modderfontein
Nature Reserve (276 hectares) is owned by AECI and includes numerous important SA Heritage features.
Access is controlled and all walks must be accompanied by a guide from the Modderfontein Conservation Society.
The reserve incorporates grassland, exotic woodland plus 3 large water bodies and boasts an historic record
of over 280 bird species. Most of the natural wildlife occurring in the highveld are present,
plus 4 species of large antelope.
Last but not least Artslink.co.za is TJ de Klerk's real business when he's not
walking. TJ hosts this Website, gave us a kick start when we needed one, and has been a source of advice and often comfort.
