The 12000-hectare Dronfield Nature Reserve has belonged to De Beers since 1888 and was proclaimed as a nature reserve in 2004. It is an arid-birding paradise with about 140 species having been recorded at this Important Bird Area. White-Backed Vultures nest on the reserve and across the highway at Kamfers Dam about 50 000 Lesser Flamingoes may be viewed.
Dronfield is also well-stocked with wildlife offering excellent opportunities to photograph Sable and Roan antelope as well as Eland, Red Hartebeest, Gemsbok, Burchells Zebra and Springbok. A vulture restaurant has been established on Dronfield to allow visitors to watch these birds at close range.
