Gol Kopjes
Kopjes on the eastern side of the southern short-grass plains, famed for their high density of cheetahs. In the rainy season the Great Migration herds gather nearby, making it a great place to watch cheetah hunts.
Gol Kopjes lies on the open short-grass plains northeast of Naabi Hill Gate. Several isolated granite outcrops make up the cluster, with unobstructed views in every direction. It is famous for cheetahs: the open plains let them chase Thomson’s gazelles at high speed, and the outcrops serve as lookout points. Many cheetah studies have been conducted here. From December to March, the Great Migration herds graze here, and lions and hyenas move through as well. In the dry season the area is relatively barren. Some areas restrict vehicles and require an experienced guide, and the roads are dirt tracks that turn muddy after rain.
