Beautiful wild gardens restored to former glory. Sit on the lawns with a picnic basket or explore the hills and look for James Delaney's lazer cut animals hidden between the plants. Stunning views over Jozi from the Sundial.

The Cradle of Humankind

Reviewed By G750DMpaulas - Leicester, United Kingdom

This is a great place to visit to see the history of mankind as well as the history of freedom. It tells a powerful story in such a beautiful setting. It is well worth a visit and is very educational. Take the guided tour inside the museum, it is worth it.

Croc City Crocodile and Reptile Park

Reviewed By 610antonial - Ascot, United Kingdom

Really great short excursion for reptile-mad kids. Very well maintained by knowledgeable enthusiasts who clearly have the animals’ best interests at heart. Our son was especially keen on spending most of his time studying the black mamba and other venomous snakes - very exciting! We also got to hold various animals, zip line over the croc enclosures, and top of the day with a pretty decent pizza. Would highly recommend.

Faerie Glen Nature Reserve

Reviewed By russellmC1304BG

I grew up in the 1980s a stones throw from there. There was never a weekend that went by not exploring. There were no fences, just nature so close to civilization. The view from the koppie is amazing. There was even a direct dirt path up to the top and I remember some of the obstacles.
