walks and trails

NOTE

24 March 2020:  Please note that due to the pandemic, all future Hillcrest Conservancy events are postponed until further notice.

Reserve gate opening hours are between 8am and 4pm until further notice.

Guided walks in Springside Nature Reserve are regularly organised but, for those who visit on other days, the map below and the illustrated signboards in the car-park area will help you select a route for self-guided walks.  All paths are well maintained and generally suitable for all levels of fitness.

Gates are open daily throughout the year between 7.30 am and 4 pm.  Note:  There is no staff on site after hours, so it is advisable to plan your arrival and departure times accordingly.

Visitors are kindly requested to place donations of least R20 p.p. through the slot on the Kingfisher Centre front wall.  All donations are used by our voluntary committee towards on-going Reserve improvements and Conservancy projects.  Your generosity will be appreciated.

Look and listen for a wide variety of birds.  Binoculars are recommended to improve your experience.  Interested in indigenous flora?  Several different species occur in the grassland, wetland and forested areas throughout the year.  Bring your field guide book/s.
All welcome.
GUIDED BIRDING & GENERAL NATURE WALKS hosted by Hillcrest Conservancy, are held in Springside Nature Reserve on the second Wednesday of each month:
