Verloren Valei is a closed reserve, so casual visitors can only traverse the tourist route as marked on the map. You will typically need to be accompanied by a guide: it’s thus essential to phone ahead to make sure the reserve is open and that a guide is available.
To book a visit, contact the Reserve office on 013 254 8800, or the Reserve Manager on 063 927 7362 (What’s App 076 279 6315) or e-mail velaphis@yahoo.com/ Shirley.sibiya@mtpa.co.za.
General contact for Friends of Verloren Valei is info@verlorenvalei.org.za.
Admission to the Reserve is R48 for adults and R25 for children under 12 and pensioners.
Another way to visit the Reserve is on one of the expert-led field trips organised by the Friends of Verloren Valei — see the current list of field trips.
The Escarpment Bird Club, based in Dullstroom, also organises regular outings to birding hot spots, including Verloren Valei.
