Morning Hike near Pretoria East

Faerie Glen Nature Reserve used to be part of the farm Hartbeespoort. The Bronberg, which is the focus of the reserve, has been declared as a critically endangered ecosystem by the Minister of Environmental Affairs in 2011. Two vegetation types namely Gold Reef Mountain Bushveld and Marikana Thornveld, occur in the valley. The latter is an endangered ecosystem according to the Gauteng C-Plan, which resulted in the proclamation of the nature reserve in 2014. Game includes Impala, Red Hartebees and Zebra.
