Blyde-Olifants Conservancy

Blyde-Olifants Conservancy, The Conservancy consolidates a group of privately owned game farms in the central Lowveld region into an official nature reserve. Lying roughly between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa. Through the conservancy run two incredibly different rivers - on the one hand is the river most often associated with the colour brown - the powerful Olifants River - behind which runs the Drakensberg escarpment, creating a striking backdrop, whilst on the other is the clear, sparkling Blyde River, a tributary of the Olifants River.

Wildlife

Include: Spotted hyena, kudu, South African giraffe, African leopard, squirrel and plains zebra, whilst the rivers are well occupied with hippo and crocodiles. Lion and African bush elephant roam these plains freely and fairly regularly.

gollark: The world is very interconnected these days so stuff happening elsewhere affects me somewhat. And I do also care about suffering being caused, even if that doesn't directly affect people in my country.
gollark: I can definitely judge them by their *actions* and whatnot.
gollark: ???
gollark: ... did I say it was?
gollark: Even if it actually *is* true that living in an authoritarian regime is similar to living in... well, I guess the comparison is just a "relatively standard reasonably free Western country" or something... for the average non-politically-active person (which is probably the case for *some* authoritarian regimes), that doesn't really make authoritarian regimes okay.
