Nylsvley protects part of the Nyl River floodplain, a Ramsar-listed wetland visited mainly for its birds, about an hour and a half from Gauteng off the N1. The reserve has a camping site with basic facilities alongside chalets, a guest house, dormitories and a picnic site. Water levels on the floodplain vary from year to year, so it is worth asking about conditions before a birding trip.
