Lonely Planet review for Rondevlei Nature Reserve
Hippos hadn’t lived in the marshes here for 300 years until they were reintroduced in 1981 to this small, picturesque nature reserve northeast of Muizenberg. There are now seven hippos, but they’re shy creatures and it’s unlikely that you’ll spot them unless you stay overnight – for details contact Imvubu Nature Tours, based at the reserve. You can also book a guided walk during which you can spot some 231 species of birds from the waterside trail, two viewing towers and hides.
