“Although it was muddy after the rains, those who went out for a ride with their mountain bikes also had a good time,” Kallesen said.
Niekerk said the outdoor experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part in the guided walk. “Everyone enjoyed the lovely walk to identify different flowers and birds. Many had not been bird watching before,” added Van Niekerk.
Kallesen said the conservancy was a valuable open space for recreation and wildlife.
