Brandvlei is a small town of exceptionally forlorn demeanour, situated on the plains of central Bushmanland. The town was carefully rebuilt and today it is a typical peaceful and hospitable 'platteland' town. This is saltpan country, and apart from sheep farming, Brandvlei is also the home of SALTCOR, one of the country's largest private salt producers, exporting worldwide. The area to the east of Brandvlei offers some excellent Bushmanland birding, including good sites for the desirable Sclater’s Lark and Burchell’s Courser. The commonest raptors near Brandvlei are Pale Chanting Goshawk, Greater Kestrel and Lanner Falcon, while Martial Eagle and Black-breasted Snake-eagle are also often seen.
