This region covers most of the former Western Transvaal. It is an infinitive tapestry of green maize and yellow sunflower fields, alternated with bushveld plains, dotted with wild olive and umbrella thorn trees. This area is an outdoor adventure enthusiast's paradise, offering hiking trails, mountain biking trails, canoeing, white water rafting, mountain climbing, abseiling and much more in a remarkable setting. Lodges along the Vaal River afford some of the best angling and fly-fishing opportunities in South Africa.
