       What is Wits Rural Facility

WRF is a facility of the University of the Witwatersrand which serves as a base for rural-focused research, student training, and community outreach in the Bushbuckridge region of Limpopo, South Africa.

WRF is situated 500 km from Johannesburg on the road to the Orpen Gate of the Kruger National Park. The facility is on 350 hectares of unspoilt lowveld savanna with an abundance of birds and wildlife. It is close to a highly populated rural area, typical of the old homelands of South Africa under the Apartheid government.
