Give or take a kilometre the Faan Meintjies Nature Reserve lies a mere 13 kilometres outside of Klerksdorp on the road to Potchefstroom and Eleazer - 1 000 hectares strewn with acacia thorn trees, little 'koppies' or hills, chalky depressions and wide expanses of grassland.
Many visitors to the Faan Meintjies nature reserve come here either directly from Klerksdorp, or include the city in their trip. It is regarded as the oldest white settlement of the old Transvaal, and gold was one of the main reasons for the city forming. Today the city is still one of the hubs of the gold mining industry in the country, and is the centre of the ‘treasure route' (N12) which traces the goldfields through the towns of Potchefstroom, Stilfontein and Klerksdorp.
