The 'Vredefort' dome is the remains of an ancient crater, formed 2000 million years
ago when a meteorite as big as table mountain struck the earth. The crater was about
90km in diameter with the center of impact near Vredefort. Today not much of the
original crater is left except for the koppies around Parys and Vredefort with its
unique fauna and flora, friendly people, various tourism attractions and some very
interesting geological sites. In the conservancy area you will find baboons, jackal,
unique birds, a variety of game on some of the game ranches as well as a very clever
leopard that will on a frequent basis catch some game at a number of farms and always
somehow manage to evade his pursuers.
Choose between a full day packages with transport and lunch or a half day packages
with refreshments and transport. (Own transport can be used if desired). For more
