Vryburg (/fraɪbərɡ/) is a large agricultural town with a population of approximately 21,182 situated in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality of the North West Province of South Africa.

It is at the intersection of the N14 National Road (which runs from Pretoria in a southwesterly direction through Vryburg, Kuruman and Upington to the town of Springbok in the Northern Cape) and the N18 national road (which runs from Warrenton in a northerly direction through Vryburg to Mahikeng and Botswana).

In December that year, newly laid out plots were apportioned to the volunteers by means of a lottery and by February 1883 some 400 farms had been established.

On 16 August 1883, Administrator Van Niekerk proclaimed the Republic of Stellaland with Vryburg as capital and himself as President.

[4] Stellaland split into two rival factions – those who supported annexation into the Cape Colony as mooted by Cecil Rhodes, and those who preferred independence.

The Tiger Kloof Native Institute was set up south of the town by the London Missionary Society in 1904.

Vryburg is also situated on the main railway line from Cape Town to Botswana and Zimbabwe.

The reserve has a number of animal species including Rhino, Eland, Buffalo, Black Wildebeest, Waterbuck and Springbuck.
