Over the years the park's surplus stock has been translocated to other nature reserves and private owners with suitable habitats.

[1] Bontebok National Park lacks major predators or other large dangerous animals, and thus allows several outdoor activities.

Three hiking trails start near the rest camp (accessible for day visitors from a dedicated parking area, or via a short link path from the overnight camp): Further inland from the river, the Blue Crane Trail is a 3.2 km route along a jeep track, passing some of the small dams.

A fifth circular trail of about 6 km, the Termite Loop, commences near Die Stroom and climbs a long gentle incline before crossing Western Drive and descending back to the river.

Other noteworthy species are malachite and southern double-collared sunbird, fiscal flycatcher, Klaas's cuckoo, acacia pied barbet, red-faced mousebird and pearl-breasted swallow.

Fourteen one- and two-bedroom wooden cottages are complemented by multiple camping stands, available with or without electricity points.
