ALZU Game Reserve and Petroport
has become home not only to an informative and interesting University of
Pretoria Rhodis Project Exhibition Museum but is also home to several rhino. ALZU
is the leader in destination stops en route to your final destination.
Approximately 250 kms
from Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Province of Mpumalanga and situated
halfway between Middelburg and Belfast, exactly 35km from both is a convenient
stop-over for the holiday and business traveller. The emphasis is on South Africa’s wildlife
and the endangered rhino! ALZU is also a comfortable rest-haven for
travellers, tourists and tour operators with large groups travelling via bus
and kombi vehicles en route to the Highlands Meander, Kruger National Park and
Mozambique.
Restrooms with Wildlife Views
A bonus for anyone to
stop at Alzu Petroport, are the fantastic restrooms. Yes, really! The
restrooms do not only deliver extremely well on the basics, but also speak to
the aesthetic eye. The restrooms have large glass windows overlooking the
game enclosure and reserve. One can see as far as the distant horizon and the
ALZU wildlife make regular visits to the nearby water hole. As a visitor travellers enjoy sitting within
this tranquil setting and if their timing coincides with that of the wildlife
will have the opportunity to view rhino, buffalo,zebra, eland, blesbok,
ostriches, two Egyptian geese and an emu or two. Visitors sit in a relaxed trance as they
watch the wildlife transverse the green plains of ALZU coming from a distance
towards the game feed troughs.

Apart from easy
accessibility right on the N4 route, the large indoor and outdoor wildlife
viewing decks make viewing possible what-ever the weather.
