Fun at Buffelspoort Dam near the town of Rustenburg in South Africa

Located in the Northern slopes of the Magaliesberg Mountains. It is a wonderful fishing place - particularly for bass, barbel and large carp. We had fun with water sports.

Sort:  

Burrowing scorpions, really, I can't touch those, aren't they poisnous?

They are mildly venomous.

Dangerous ones have thick tails and thin pincers.

Is this the big dam on the right a few Kilometers before Rustenburg , when coming from Magaliesburg?

No this dam is on the northern slopes of the Magalisberg Mountains near the town Mooi Nooi

it is a very beautiful tourist site especially that combines between the sea the desert side and the forest.

Enjoy.
Best Regards.
