DINOKENG - Die Groter Prentjie

Daar word deesdae baie gepraat en verwys na Dinokeng en dit kan nogal verwarring veroorsaak vir diegene wat nie die "Groter prentjie" en storie agter die Groter Dinokeng en Dinokeng DGR (WildReservaat) ken nie.  Juis daarom het ons besluit om in 2019 op kampforum te fokus op hierdie area in Gauteng en spesifiek op die kampeerplekke in Dinokeng en wat die area aan ons kampeer liefhebbers bied!

Dinokeng word gebruik vir die groter area noord / oos van PTA en sluit Roodeplaat en die historiese myndorp Cullinan in.   Dinokeng Wild Reservaat (DGR - Dinokeng Game Reserve is die ge-registreerde handlesnaam vir die Wildtuin) en is op sy eie.

Meer oor Dinokeng Reservaat:

"The destruction of our environment, rampant pollution and the loss of natural resources has to be the biggest threat to humankind. Human encroachment into wilderness areas has lead to habitat loss and the accelerated extinction of species. Conservationists around the globe are fighting a battle for open ecosystems. These endeavours need universal support. While the human race continues to grow in numbers the struggle for the survival of our environment has to be supplemented with new models of conservation where people and nature exist in harmony.

The Dinokeng Game Reserve presents a rare opportunity to develop a model for future conservation. The DGR is unique in a sense that we are the only residential Big5 game reserve worldwide located within the boundaries of a metro city and just half an hour from the city centre. We are pioneering a model where the Big5 roam freely and live in harmony with resident land owners."    Geneem van Dinokeng DGR Webwerf: (lees meer)  Dinokeng Game Reserve

Groter Dinokeng: Vanuit  SA-Venues.com  :  " Referring to an area, rather than a particular town, Dinokeng is part of an initiative by the government to establish a tourist destination close to urban Gauteng that lies roughly in the catchments area of two rivers - the Elands and Pienaars - that subsequently flow into the greater Olifants and Limpopo Rivers.

The land has witnessed a number of different cultures, which together form something of a melting pot of history. The Tswana, Pedi, Afrikaans, Ndebele, English and Tsonga-speaking people have all had significant effects upon the land and rolling grasslands of Dinokeng; and Anglo-Boer War blockhouses, battle sites, cemeteries and forts are all evidence of the conflicts that have left their mark.

There is a lot to do and see in the Dinokeng Region. Three dams lie in the area - Mkhombo, Rust de Winter and Roodeplaat; the historic homes of the Sammy Marks Museum, the village of Rust de Winter, and what remains of the Wallmansthal Mission all reflect the old ways of life; whilst Dinokeng is one of the country’s prime bird watchingareas, second only to Ndumo in the St Lucia area in terms of the diversity of species.

The Dinokeng Game Reserve, part of the government’s initiative, is run by a non-profit company and combines about 270 property-owners’ land in what will be a 90 000 hectare game reserve that offers Big Five game viewing, a wealth of archaeological sites that take visitors back to the Stone Age, and a unique cultural experience in the form of art and craft studios for local artisans."
