Teuns and Truia Botha, managers of the Spitskop Nature Reserve, welcome you to a reserve which in essence is a fine example of the famous Kalahari Desert that Sir Laurens van der Post loved so much. Spitskop hosts more than ten species of large mammals and an array of smaller mammals, birds, reptiles and typical Kalahari flora.

Cyclicsts, hikers and campers are especially welcome. The reserve is situated 13 km north of Upington and measures 5641 hectares. It derives its name from a prominent steep rocky hill close to the entrance.
