Roodepoort's Kloofendal reserve is home to indigenous trees, proteas, orchids and other flora, and includes an attractive rocky koppie. A stone amphitheatre on the western edge is used for open-air events, and two circular walking trails take visitors past the old Confidence Reef gold-mine shaft (now restored as a national monument), a small dam, and various sites of geological and botanical interest.
The air is filled with the songs of more than 120 recorded bird species. The 150 ha reserve is open daily from sunrise to sunset between the months of September and April (May to August are high fire-risk months).
