Cov­er­ing an impres­sive 2500 hectares with diverse ecosys­tems of bushveld, grass­land, coastal for­est, wet­land, and wild game, this nat­ur­al land­scape offers a place of peace and tran­quil­li­ty. A large lake shaped like the eland, com­mon in bush­man paint­ings give the reserve its name “Lake Eland” in hon­our of this mag­nif­i­cent ante­lope.
