Gauteng Reserves

Gauteng's nature reserves serve a primarily peri-urban function — providing accessible green space and wildlife habitat within and around one of Africa's largest metropolitan areas. Suikerbosrand, Rietvlei and the Cradle of Humankind reserves are the most substantial. SA Hikes lists 38 Gauteng reserves with information on their landscapes, access and the hiking options within each.
