One of our large herd of Buck, with baby

Our herds of Blesbok are free roaming, and mow the lawns round the chalets at night

On quiet days the buck will often stay near the chalet area

Duiker in Chalet gardens in the early mornings

There are several resident duiker which check out the gardens in the mornings and early evenings

Steenbok in the grass above the dam

Steenbok are a little more shy and will only be spotted in the daytime as you walk round the property and come near to them

There are several of these magnificent animals leading different herds on the property

There are two Meerkat Colonies at Greystone

The meerkat colonies are easy to spot but, unless you are very lucky, you will need to sit quietly on one of the rocky knolls overlooking them for some time before you see any meerkat moving

Jackal at the Waterhole

Since this is a nature reserve we of course have a range of predators who help keep nature in balance. The jackal is the largest of these but you will be very lucky to see one of these very shy animals

Blesbok at the Waterhole

Our Trailcam lets us know what is moving around the property, without disturbing the wildlife. At night it takes infra-red flash photos

Baby Blesbok & Bird

The young blesbok can sometimes be very curious, as they explore a new world

Sacred Ibis

A wide variety of birds live on and around the property. We have recently completed a hide overlooking the marsh for bird watchers

The fish eagle helps keep the trout population under control. Unfortunately.

Cape Robin

Very territorial, these guys will give you a hard time if you stray into their home ranges!

Weaver birds live in most of the trees around the chalets and dam - the cherry tree behind chalet 1 is always bald on its top as the weavers strip off leaves to make room for their nests
