Hazel Food Market

“Are you an early riser? Pitch up at the Boeremark at 05:30 on a Saturday morning for great local food (Melkkos, Krokette, Pannekoek), delicious coffee and heaps of fresh produce, flowers, honey and baked goods. ”

“Situated 18km from the centre of Tshwane, the 3 800-hectare Rietvlei Nature Reserve surrounds the magnificent Rietvlei Dam which supplies Pretoria with 15% of its water. The reserve comprises endangered Bankenveld grassland and is home to approximately 2 000 animals including cheetah, leopard, buffalo, white rhino and a host of buck, making it one of the better populated game reserves in Gauteng. The bird watching is remarkable with two dams on the reserve with bird hides which provide open water and wetland habitats. Activities at the dam include freshwater fishing (catfish, yellowfish, carp and tilapia), which is allowed at the northern and western shores and a variety of non-motorised water sports, which operate from the yacht club, located on the north-western shore. Guided one and two day hiking and horse trails can be arranged and guided game drives through the reserve are also available (note visitors must provide their own vehicles, advance booking required). The reserve has about 60km of well-maintained tar and dirt roads that allow for great game viewing. Look out for cheetah, rhino, leopard, buffalo, blesbok, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, eland, Burchell’s zebra, waterbuck, reedbuck, springbok, mountain reedbuck, steenbok and grey duiker. It is possible to stay overnight at the park in the Rietvlei campsite, although this must be booked in advance. If you're looking for activity filled getaways in Gauteng then a visit to Rietvlei Nature Reserve provides just that ”
