Experience the Tranquil Splendour of Africa at Mkhombo Dam
Located in the heart of Mpumalanga, the scenic Mkhombo Dam is a true gem that offers visitors an otherworldly beauty that is truly special. The reserve is an impressive 11,000 hectares in size and is only a few hours from Da Village Villas, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
Fishing at Mkhombo Dam
The natural beauty of Mkhombo Nature Reserve is unparalleled. One of its main features is the Mkhombo Dam, also known as the Renosterkop Dam, which is ideal for fishing with carp, barbel, and bass. Sitting on the banks of the dam and feeling the warmth of the sun while waiting for a nibble is the perfect way to experience the tranquil splendour of Africa.
Birdwatching at Mkhombo Dam
The Mkhambo Nature reserve is also a bird watcher’s paradise, attracting avid birders from around the world. The reed cormorant, African yellow-billed hornbill, African grey hornbill, white-breasted cormorant, little swift, hamerkop, red-winged starling, pectoral sandpiper, grey plover, barred wren-warbler, and yellow wagtail are just a few of the exciting species that can be spotted here.
Biome, Fauna and Flora
Mkhombo Nature Reserve is home to an easterly Kalahari thornveld, which is rugged and raw, but the banks of the dam are fertile and beautiful with plenty of life. This juxtaposition makes the fauna and flora of the reserve particularly intriguing and it is no wonder that it is a protected area.
For those looking to stay overnight, there are plenty of accommodation options in the Cultural Heartland of Mpumalanga. Da Village Villas offer the perfect home base for your Mkhombo Dam adventure.
