Wolwespruit Nature Reserve lies on the banks of the Vaal River approximately 22–27 km south of Leeudoringstad in North West Province. The reserve covers roughly 2,000–2,330 hectares and sits about 130 kilometres upstream from Bloemhof Dam.

It is one of the lesser-known parks in the province, valued precisely for the quiet and solitude it offers. The Vaal River is the reserve's centrepiece, drawing anglers after yellowfish in the rapids and providing scenic riverine bush.

Birdwatchers come for a diverse array of species including thrush, starling, and shrike, while the grassy plains support game such as blesbok, zebra, kudu, black wildebeest, and hartebeest.

Hiking trails allow visitors to explore the bushveld on foot, and rustic camping along the riverbank is a popular option for visitors travelling from as far as Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and the Free State.
