About Soetdoring Nature Reserve and Predator Park
The small Soetdoring Nature Reserve and Predator Park makes a great day outing from Bloemfontein. Although it isn't one of the top scenic parks in South Africa, you can observe a pride of lions in their fenced enclosure.
Gemsbok, eland, springbok, blesbok, black wildebeest, zebra and red hartebeest can easily be seen on the open plains. More secretive impala, kudu, steenbok, duiker and mountain reedbuck are harder to spot in the riverine bush. The park also offers the best birding around Bloemfontein with over 284 species recorded.
Most visitors come here to picnic, braai, spot wildlife or to fish along the river and dam. Braai and picnic facilities are dotted along the shore.

The cabin was also infested with bats that obviously defecated everywhere. We had tractors cutting grass outside our cabin at 0630hrs. The cabin door was so badly damaged we couldn't lock it and there is no mesh netting over the windows so they...
