Korsman’s Bird Sanctuary

East Rand PansWell over 100 permanent and seasonal pans dot the East Rand, the vast majority situated on private land. Fortunately within the greater Benoni, Kempton Park, Boksburg and Brakpan area there are also several pans accessible to the public; Bullfrog Pan, sand Pan, Westdene Pan (Korsman’s Bird Sanctuary), Bonaero Park Pan, Carlos Rolfe’s Pan, Steward’s Pan, Leeupan and Blaaupan (Pamula Park Nature Reserve). Located less than 60 minutes drive from the center of Johannesburg, these must surely offer one of the most rewarding and most under-appreciated urban birding experiences to be had in Gauteng. One can only marvel at what the bird life must have been like a century ago.

Voortrekker Monument

The great grey colossus can be seen from all directions as you near Pretoria… the massive Voortrekker Monument, built in honour of the Voortrekkers (Pioneers), who left the Cape Colony in their thousands between 1835 and 1854.
