The Wolkberg Wilderness Area is a protected area in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It is located in the Wolkberg (en|Cloud mountain), a subrange of the Drakensberg approximately south-east of Haenertsburg and east of Polokwane. The high Ysterkroon and the surrounding was proclaimed a Wilderness Area in 1977.[1] [2]
The office, parking and camping site are located at the Klipdraai forest station. The park is traversed by the Mohlapitse River, a tributary of the Olifants River.[3]
Many birds have their habitat in this protected area, including rare bat hawks, black eagles, crowned eagles, hamerkops, and pearl-breasted swallows.[4]
