- Voëlvlei Dam
Description
Graced by the majestic Limietberg mountains and completely hidden from view, Voëlvlei Dam is home to one of the oldest yacht clubs in South Africa: Vogelvlei Yacht Club. Vogelvlei Yacht Club is nestled in a bird sanctuary, and the cry of the Fish Eagle is often heard. Pelicans and flocks of geese are also local residents. The dam is home to a variety of fish such as Smallmouth Bass, Trout and Catfish. Because Voëlvlei Dam supplies drinking water to the greater Cape Town, no motorized water sports are allowed. The main water sport is sailing and passionate sailors of dinghies and cats gather here regularly to race or just to enjoy sailing in the unspoiled, stunningly beautiful surrounding environment. It can be very windy out here and the wind can pick up suddenly. So check the weather forecast for wind conditions before going out.
