About the dam.

Loskop Dam is situated in the northern part of Mpumalanga and was completed in 1938 but since then the dam wall has been raised already. The dam has a water capacity of 24,280,000 cubic meters and is definitely one of the most beautiful dams in South Africa.

Loskopdam is mainly situated inside a nature reserve which means that there is almost always some wildlife around and the bird life is amazing. There are always buffalo's, kudus, rooibokke and zebras and no lack in visvangertjies. Loskop is truly a paradise for nature lovers.

Inside the nature reserve you will find the Forever Resorts, a good place to go fishing. The resort has about 70 different mammal species which includes 3 of the "Big Five" namely White Rhinos, Buffalo and Leopard.

Forever Resorts Loskop can be contacted at +27 (0) 13 262 3075/6/7 for any enquiries.

Loskopdam's main water supply is from the Olifants River which flows together with the Small Olifants from Middelburg and the big Olifants from Witbank. Lower down the Wilge river also connects to the Olifants to help contribute to the dam.

Oor die dam.

Loskopdam is geleë in die noordelikke deel van Mpumalanga en is in 1938 voltooi maar intussen is die damwal weer verhoog. Die dam het 'n water kapasiteit van 24,280,000 kubieke meter en is beslis een van die mooiste damme in Suid Afrika.

Loskop is hoofsaaklik geleë in 'n natuurreservaat wat beteken dat daar altyd ‘n verskeidenheid wild te sien is en die voëllewe is uitstaande. Daar is altyd buffels, koedoes, rooibokke en zebras te sien en daar is geen tekort aan visvangertjies nie. Loskop is werklik ‘n paradys vir die natuurliefhebber.

Binne in die Natuurreservaat area is daar ook die Forever Resorts waar mens kan gaan hengel. Die reservaat beskik oor sowat 70 verskillende spesies soog diere waarvan dit 3 van die "Groot Vyf" insluit naamlik Wit Renosters, Buffels en Luiperde.
