Picnic Spot Rietvlei Dam Lapa

ID: w170286 View large map

Located in South Africa :: Gauteng  :: Pretoria
Category: Attraction :: Picnic Spot

The Lapa has braai (barbeque) facilities with wood, and guests need only bring their own food to BBQ. The Rietvlei Dam was built during the great depression (1929 to early 1930's). The dam is fed by the Sesmyl (Six Mile) Spruit, five fountains and five boreholes. This is an excellent area for birdwatching, and the dense woodland surrounding the Sesmyl Spruit creates a habitat for completely different birdlife. The dam provides Pretoria with 15% of its water. The entrance fee is R35 per person. Things to do here: Rietvlei has a conference centre ('Boma'), horse riding and hiking trails, picnic site with a good bird hide, night drives are offered and angling can be done once a permit is obtained.
