Wow. They are doing incredible work to ensure that our endangered Wildlife continues to exist. The facilities are great. Educational and interactive. Excellent service and value for money. Nice restaurant with yummy food on site, freshly made.

Great place, the work they do with the animals are admirable. The guide told.about the place and animals, which was great. It was done on autopilot from our guide, but we still enjoyed it...

We did this outing a few years back so it was lovely to see how it’s changed since. There was less animals than I remembered but the facilities are first class. My teens loved the Leopard and yes the King Cheetah is gorgeous! We had a lovely guide - Ruhan I think - who was very knowledgable, informative and friendly. It’s not cheap for domestic tourists but definitely worth it as you can see what the money is used for.

Really enjoyed seeing the different animals. They do a great job in taking care of the animals. Very knowledgeable guides. Would definitely be back.

Very nice place, with guides that have slot of knowledge about alle the animals. Have been here two times now and it is definitely a good drive worth.

A favorite family stop over place for lunch or drinks when we travel in the area. Beautiful facilities that are normally very quiet during the off season and we'll worth the visit. There are 2 tours with open safari vehicles at 9 and 11am to see certain big 5 animals in enclosed camps. The ambience and relax nature are inviting but note they close at 14h00 pm.

Great experience! It is amaizing to see how passionate these people are about their animals and the fantastic work they are doing! We got to drive into a cheetah camp on an open vehicle, which was a thrilling experience! Also got to see the vultures being fed which is magnificent! The guide was informed and very friendly. The animals are in very good shape and cared for. Well worth the time and money spend.

This was my first time doing a full day tour with one of our student groups, and I absolutely loved it! As a biologist I have worked with an visited many rehab centres and sanctuaries, and seen many guided experiences. Ethan our guide was fabulous, definitely one of the best I have seen, giving good factual knowledge, knowing his stuff, and interacting with the group really well! Becky also gave us an excellent tour of the current rehab cases and discussed the important work they do!

This place gave a great up close experience to see the animals that have been rehabilitated. I also like the fact that their goal is to release the ones that are able, back into the wild.

This centre does a wonderful job in educating the public, including school children, about conservation and poaching. The guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, and there is a range of beautiful animals here to learn about, from dassies to black leopards. Such a great experience!

We went to Moholoholo to visit Stoffel the Honey badger. But we got so much more. Moholoholo is dedicated to animal conservation, education, and rehabilitation. The work they do is vital in preserving the jewels of Africa, their beautiful wildlife. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and funny. Shout out to Moses, who was brilliant and making us all laugh while still emphasising the seriousness of the effects of poaching. The animals you can visit there are the animals that could not be released back into the wild due to injury or because they had had too much human contact for various reasons. Moholoholo does NOT show animals currently in rehab to the public to prevent them from being unable to be released back into the wild. The work they do is important. The animals in their care are well looked after, and we will definitely return. My only complaint is that the gift shop was closed after the tour so I never did get my Stoffel Teeshirt. Sucks to be me. It does not suck to support the Moholoholo rehab facility. Amazing.

This rehabilitation centre is very well run. The animals are very well cared for, the facility is very neat, clean and tidy as are the bathrooms. The shop is well kitted and the food kiosk has ample food selection. Nathan was extremely informative and had answers to the many questions. This facility is well worth a visit, they can't continue their excellent work without our support. Please give them your support.

Got a great tour! They have a great perspective on animal rehab and they don't sugar coat the rehab process. Great policies on preventative human imprint on animals. Definitely give them your support if you can!

Loved that this was part of our safari with Viva Safari’s. You get to see the animals up close and they are even given snacks.

This was such an amazing experience to feed, and pet and kiss a hippo! The story is remarkable as is the owner and all the staff. If you have the opportunity to visit Jessica do not hesitate!!!

Unbelievable experience. A must do on the bucket list. Great owner, who was kind to change our booking time and greeted us well on arrival even though we were running a little bit late. Caring people look after beautiful gracious animals. Once in a life experience you should do, 100% recommended. Very affordable and unforgettable! Do it 💯%!

A pleasant time spent. Booked in advance and paid afterward (it's a bit of a tourist trap when you pay). We should be able to pay online or upon arrival. We ended up waiting in line. But I recommend the place; it's very interesting for children and adults. Thank you for your welcome.

Incredible story ans sharing with Jessica the hippo and her family. If you are a lady you may give her a kiss 💋 Such a curious and amazing experience. Be punctual, she won't wait for you for her lunch !

The story behind Jessica the Hippo is both fascinating and heartwarming. Being able to feed and touch a hippo is somewhat surreal and humbling as they are truly magnificent animals. If you are in the area then it's absolutely worth making the trip. Thank you Patricia and team.

Patricia is definetly the right person at the right place.She has deep knowledge of the hippos , knows exactly how to behave with them and especially she loves them and is very attentive to their wellbeeing. That’s why we had such a true experience with her and Jessica and her baby. I will no longer see the hippos as killers as I often read they are. Just learn how to behave and respect animals as we should all learn to. Thanks a lot Patricia for giving us such a wonderful lesson of life.💝

Truly a once in a lifetime experience! I joined the tours and also stayed overnight at the accommodation, which I highly recommend. Staying over offers a more relaxed, personal atmosphere, where you get to quietly observe the hippos throughout the day whenever they’re around. An unforgettable way to connect with nature.

Take some time to bond with nature. This place is gorgeous 😍. Don't do this if you have fear of heights. The barriers are limited. Majestic views, so breathtaking, if you have a drone, this is a place to fly. Some hike, if you have the nuts for it. There are markets for merch. Don't snooze for this place. Downside is that there are limited vantage points but you won't regret it. Enjoy & please be safe!!!

We had a 30 minute stop on our way back to Johannesburg after our safari. Beautiful views, enjoyed the quick stop.

One of the best viewpoints in South Africa! There’s a small entrance fee (cash/card accepted) and a short walk from the parking lot to the main viewing area. Clear signage, decent facilities, and absolutely stunning views of the canyon and the Three Rondavels.

An absolutely stunning viewpoint! The Three Rondavels is one of those places that truly captures the magic of Mpumalanga. The panoramic views over the Blyde River Canyon are breathtaking- the layered cliffs, deep valleys, and the iconic three mountain peaks shaped like traditional rondavel huts. The viewpoint is easy to access, with safe walkways and plenty of space to enjoy the scenery. It’s a fantastic spot for photos, and the natural beauty is even more impressive in person than in pictures. Peaceful, majestic, and uniquely South African—highly recommended!

The beautiful nature made up for the restaurant not having coffee or milkshakes but is still the best of the public siteseeing attractions in the area. Especially after the letdown of the facilities at the potholes.

Great views. If you have time and are planning some days before your visit, you should book a canyon cruise as well. Would have been even greater sights

The views are beautiful, more beautiful when the grass is green. Entry is now cashless. And there’s food stores that actually work now. The last time I was here there weren’t any stores and you could pay cash to enter.. they also have safety monitors to prevent people from endangering themselves.

It was great. I don't post pictures or videos of the actual features so that others can go see it for themselves. You can see Mozambique from here and that's amazing. We went in July, and we could see as far as binoculars allowed. I've been here a couple of times and we couldn't see much. This period seems to be better. We enjoyed the walk up, the various available paths made it meditative and kept it fresh.

God’s Window is truly a beautiful spot, but unfortunately I visited on a foggy day and couldn’t see much of the view. Even so, the place itself is peaceful and the walkways are nice. I’d definitely recommend checking the weather before going, because on a clear day it must be absolutely breathtaking.

It was an absolutely amazing experience ❤️ worth the hike. The hike was not too long just steep but the views are incredible and so worth it. Reasonable entrance fees for S. African citizens not too sure about the entry for non-citizen visitors — beautiful experience nonetheless. There are stalls of beautiful handmade memorabilia also worth looking at and getting to keep as a reminder. The road leading to God's window also has amazing views of the valleys and mountains, would 10/10 recommend visiting it.

Mpumalanga has uncharted scenic views. A testimony of the diversity of South Africa’s nature. God’s Window & nearby views (e.g. Blyde River Canyon) are one of those unofficial wonders of the world. As regards God’s Window please don’t have unrealistic expectations of actual window from heaven, but be prepared for breathtaking views.

I'm still in awe of the breathtaking beauty of God's Window! The walk up to the window is an adventure in itself, requiring comfortable shoes and a bit of stamina, but trust me, it's worth every step. As you ascend, the scenery unfolds, and the anticipation builds, culminating in a jaw-dropping panoramic view that will leave you speechless. The majestic vistas stretching out before you are simply indescribable – a true marvel of nature. God's Window is a must-visit destination, and I'd recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, bring your camera, and be prepared to have your breath taken away!

Have you ever witnessed a truly remarkable experience? The vistas are exceptionally stunning. The trek to the location and onward to the Rain Forest is physically demanding. However, the experience is rewarding. The facilities are maintained to a high standard.

Beautiful place to get a clear picture of the breathtaking views we are privileged to have in our beautiful country. The walk is quite long and strenuous but it is definitely well worth the visit. Prices are okayish.

Such an wonderful place full of nooks and crannies. It was very interesting to see all the different rock formations made by the water. I must say that I found the prices to be quite high but at the end of the day it was well worth the visit.

Its a lovely spot. My only concern is the people who ignore signs demarcation the safe areas. Price wise it was R75 a person . Well worth it .

Wow this place is beautifully peaceful, from rock formations,beautiful flowing water to waterfalls. Walking here feels like everything is going to be okay like all your worries/burdens are lifted off your shoulders...the environment is really therapeutic. I spent longer time here because i emmersed my feet in the pothole and forgot reality I zoned out because of how much comfort i felt...an amazing feeling...reasonable restrictions ❤️❤️

Highly recommended stop if you’re touring the Panorama Route. It pairs beautifully with other attractions like God’s Window or Three Rondavels. Just be sure to plan for the drive and enjoy the unique natural beauty when you arrive.

What a stunning place. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery and got some amazing images from this spot. There’s a lot of walking so make sure to take comfortable shoes for walking. Definitely worth it.

My favourite stop on the Panorama Route. The Bourke's Luck Potholes have been formed over thousands of years of water erosion. The paths are accessible until you reach the bridges section and then there are stairs. Really stunning views. Keep a look out for the stunning Double Collared Sunbirds sucking nectar in the carpark trees.

The experience is quite spectacular to see the water swirl and create the circles down below. They also have a special walk way for people in wheelchairs. NB: Just note if you want to use their toilets they charge you extra for toilet paper. Entrance R75 p.p if you are a South African citizen.

It is nice small place to discover with 1 huge rock in middle and water fall, landscape close by. Entrance fee for international tourist is 60 baht

Pinnacle Rock is a hidden gem in Mpumalanga! The short walk to the rock is easy and scenic, and the views are simply breathtaking. The 30-meter tall quartzite rock is a stunning sight, and the surrounding indigenous forest adds to the natural beauty. I was also impressed by the lovely waterfall nearby, which was a lovely bonus. The entrance fee is reasonable, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained.

Stunning views. Well kept and clean. Just take your own toilet paper

There are way better stops at the panorama route. It’s a nice rock but that’s it. Only visit if you really want to see this rock with your own eyes. Better spend more time at Gods Window or drive to Lisbon Falls. (You’ll also not spend a lot of time at Lisbon Falls but it’s more spectacular than this rock)

A natural skyscraper,Sandton has nothing on this beautiful natural phenomenon.The view is breathtaking from every angle, and the serenity of the surrounding forest makes you feel completely at peace.Standing there, you can’t help but admire how effortlessly powerful and graceful nature can be. The mist rolling across the cliffs adds a magical touch, almost like the mountain is breathing. If you love scenic spots, fresh air, and raw natural beauty, The Pinnacle Rock is an absolute majestic.

Yep, beautiful spot, great rock formation and a lovely waterfall. As 4 international visitors we found paying R240 was steep though, especially for infrastructure that clearly hasn't seen any real love for decades.

They was no wait to enter. We purchased tickets at the gate to enter. We visited in January. The walk to the waterfall is on gravel. The views were beautiful, and the water was cold.

Absolutely stunning view. It was very easy to find and a quick little walk down. The market ladies were friendly....a little persistent but friendly nun the less. R20 entry is nothing to pay for the experience.

B....E....A.....UUUUtiful falls. Nice and adequate parking and a small stroll to the view point. Do visit this place if you're in Panorama Route. The only thing I don't understand is the ticket for it. Although it's not much but i don't think it's necessary. Per person, it's R25 for SA nationals and R50 for foreigners. A local mentioned it used to be free just a few years ago. Anyway, even with the small fee, one must go. There are some local handicrafts/ souvenirs at the parking area. What I didn't like about this fall was how the view point is made. The fence bars are so high that they block/ hinder the view to this amazing fall. Thankfully i had a drone so i could bypass those bars but i think something like nearby falls (lisbon & berlin) could've been done which doesn't block your view.

There are several spots where you can sit and look at the waterfall. You just have to climb a few steps. If the first bench is taken, there's another one not far from there. The waterfall is stunning, especially against the backdrop of the side of the rocks. As it hit the bottom, it seemed to be smoking. Reminds me of the native beliefs around water. As usual, I don't post features because you must come see it for yourself. Again, a few ladies and gentlemen are selling things here. I think they could bring in some variety and target local tourists. Probably modernize what's for sale. The lady at security was friendly and efficient.

Really beautiful nature scene. I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the walk.

Short hike to the falls, great to see but the view is a little restricted. However it is definitely a must see when you are visiting the area or doing the Panorama Tour! 🏞️ Falls, Hike, View, Tour, Area. #Waterfall #Hike #Panorama #Travel

This was a must see. It’s beautiful and an easy walk down to the fall. It takes about 5min to get from your car to the view point. It was R20 entry.

R25 per person entrance. 5 minute walk from the entrance to the viewing deck of the falls. Falls are beautiful but nothing else to do or see at this stop.

We have driven through Abel Erasmus Pass after leaving Greater Kruger National Park near Hoedspruit as part of our drive along the famous Panorama Route. From the north, the mountains are quite scenic, offering nice panoramic views and multi-colored rock face mountainsides, showing off their bright yellow, orange and other earth-tone shades on both sides of the Pass. We also enjoyed the nice sweeping river views as we approached and passed through the tunnel. There are a few nice viewpoints to stop and have a look at the sweeping river views on the north and south side of the pass. Further, there are plenty of places to stop along the famous Panorama Route which starts just south of the Abel Erasmus Pass, going south in the direction of Graskop. Note: Road conditions were the last time we made this drive, we didn't encounter many potholes. Overall, we like the Abel Erasmus Pass and enjoy driving this longer route towards Hoedspruit for our safaris in the Greater Kruger National Park. However, if visitors are only planning to visit the Panorama Route for a single day trip, this is slightly out of the way and might not be worth the extra driving.

I love this pass, really amazing moutain and vally view, but a lots of pothole, road was such a bad condition and rocks are falling down. It is not secure to pass, and you can not stop good view point, its very dangerous to stop. Thats why the pothos are not great. But worth to drive there, it is breathtaking scenery.

Just one of the most spectacular drives that I have done on this planet. Unfortunately the road and roadside conditions are dire - with filth and garbage — but the sheer beauty is worth it anyway. Government in the area really need to get their acts together - as this pass can have significant tourist potential benefiting local traders with proper structures (instead of the current litter strewn ramshackle structures at viewing points).

Best point of viewing the mountain.

Yea pretty cool!

What a view!!! Drive safe!

Beautiful

The waterfall is absolutely beautiful, but the road to get there, not so much. We nearly turned back but a car coming from the falls stopped and told us it's worth it. Well, my car survived and it was worth it. The falls are stunning. There are ablutions and a picnic area. Make sure you wear appropriate shoes as it's quite slippery. R50 entrance - card machine.

Went with my husband to see the water fall, We were first at Bridal Vail waterfall and the experience there was much better than lone creek, you walk and it's trees and boom you see the water fall and it's fenced off (unlike bridal Vail waterfall) and then you walk over a bridge and that's it . Nothing interesting or like the same as bridal Vail waterfall where you actually feel nature, have quite a hike and also see flowers, plants, hidden water falls were you can go and even the big watefall you can actually get a rock stand at the back of it feel everything and also we spend a lot more time there than here at lone creek. If we were at lone creek 15min in and out it's alot. We spend 4 hours at Bridal Vail waterfall and it was amazing, beautiful, an experience!! And so special, Would recommend lone creek falls for people who want to walk on concrete with their white Nike's and just have a look at a fenced waterfall to say " they were near the waterfall in Sabie" NOT FOR ADVENTUROUS PEOPLE, DOWN TO EARTH and people who actually want to experience the full course of nature and how beautiful it actually is. GO TO BRIDAL VAIL FALLS !!! I have a review on bridal Vail falls, go have a look at that photos and how beautiful it is people and how it actually looks like a fairytale.

I went there less than a week ago the price has changed to R50pp and it was beautiful with nice photography spots. The only problem l had was the road going there..

Lone creek Falls have forever been a part of my Sabie experience and will continue going forward, Its great to see the are being looked after, managed and cleaned. the additional facilities to braai and have a picnic, but should be managed accordingly as you are in nature and theres no need for cars to be blearing music that you can hear over the waterfall at the waterfall which was slighly dissapointing considering its quite a pricey entry fee to visit the waterfall at R75 per person as a south african resident which the gate keeper wouldnt take no for an answer as the published Prices are R36 at the more expensive end and he stated out ID and or Drivers license was not valid to get the SADC rates

Mpumalanga does it again with the falls. My only complaint is they have built barricades to restrict people from getting into the water but guys, these places are so gorgeous. Amazing thing about this falls is there is a walk towards the waterfall. The walk is sweet as the vegetation is pretty and soothing. The cherry on the top is the anticipation of the waterfall as it gets louder as u reach closer. Getting there is great, leaving is a problem coz u just won't want to leave. So soothing and amazing. God's creation is just so unchallenged.

Very short Trail, waterfall not very specatular. Better to see other watefalls.

Drive into and out of the falls was very bumpy and LOTS of pot holes. R36 entrance fee is reasonable, kids under 6 are free. Falls are beautiful and scenery well kept. Fencing to keep the crowds out of nature and safe from drowning. With the falls being less than 100m from the parking, very easy to visit.

The Sudwala Caves are absolutely beautiful! Inside was cool and magical, and I loved learning about the history and formations. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place worth visiting if you enjoy nature and exploring.

Very worth the trip! The cave tour was very interesting and our guide was great. It lasted about 45 minutes. We also did the zip lining which was awesome! The staff were professional, friendly and fun. The facilities were very well kept. For these reasons we found the price of admission very reasonable. I would recommend visiting!

Great activity to do with the family. Very friendly to all ages with an exception to walking through a small passage (difficult for the elderly as you need to crouch). Decently priced and Shadrack was an amazing tour guide. More than welcome to take pics and spend time in the caves even when the guide is done. Awesome gift shop, has zip lining and a beautiful crystal tour that's approx 5hrs long but definitely worth it.

This was a great shared experience with our kids. Our guide, John, was an absolute star, answering any questions the young ones had, adding quirky comments with a clear passion for the tourism industry and his internship! Bonus points for also being a tour photographer :D They have tours every 15 - 20 minutes, so the wait is not long at all.

The experiance was amazing we paid R140 per person and our tour guide John was fantastic we learned alot about the cave men and also about how the caves developed its really a must to see great south african history

A beautiful spot in South Africa to visit. The cave is interesting, stalactites, stalagmite’s, fossils, high ceilings and deep - 600m. You can go deeper to the crystal chamber to experience the crystal cave which is a 6km round trip by booking in advance. Our guide was entertaining and informative, jokes were a bit cheesy, suited rather to school groups.

Top guides, very informative about the caves. Little bit cold 🥶 inside the caves. Great life experience.

If you stay in Lydenburg you can do a 200 km round trip Via Longtom pass - Gods Window - Mac Mac fall - And the outlook on Blyderivier canyon .. Then Orighstadt and if time you can also visit Pelgrims rest that is just 60 km from Lydenburg . These pictures are from Long Tom Pass and the Longtom canon .

Beautiful but misty at night time and afternoon time

Beutiful landscape.Driving through the pass a good experience

The views were spectacular there were some roadworks where pieces were cut out of the road without warning but other than that the most beautiful Pass I drove on in South Africa.

Awe inspiringly beautiful sights and viewpoints. The road surface is good, and the pass is a fun drive. Definitely worth the time if you’re in the area!

For a biker it is always a nice place to visit

Beautiful views and nice fresh air.

I had the Whisky tasting in 2023 and recently went back for their Tequila and Rum tasting and I enjoyed it. The knowledgeable staff leads you through a curated flight of rums and tequilas, each offering unique flavors from different regions. Whether you're celebrating or just indulging in something new, it’s the perfect spot to explore the world of premium spirits in a laid-back, welcoming environment.

What a wonderful experience, was there a couple of weeks ago and the staff were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The whiskey was amazing to taste and would highly recommend, this is a wonderful experience for whiskey lovers, they break everything down for one to understand the process of making these fine whiskeys and the difference between all the brands. The staff are trained and you can see they are passionate about what they do- thank you for a beautiful experience we will be coming back!

We had such a fantastic experience at Wild For Whiskey in Dullstroom! Note I gave a 5 star for the drinks, we didn't eat there. My husband did The World Whisk(e)y Tasting while I enjoyed the Origins Gin Tasting, and both were absolutely incredible. The staff were outstanding – friendly, knowledgeable, and explained each tasting in a way that made it fun and educational. We both learnt so much and truly appreciated the passion behind what they do. What made the visit even more special is that they’re pet friendly – we could relax and enjoy the experience with our fur baby by our side, which really made us feel at home. If you’re in Dullstroom, this is definitely a must-visit spot for whiskey and gin lovers alike. Highly recommended! 🥃🍸🐾

If you love, or even just like, whiskey and other interesting spirits, this is an absolute must-visit. Fantastic for beginners and whiskey connoisseurs alike. The service was awesome, explaining the drinks in detail and answering any questions we had with real passion and knowledge. There are soooo many drinks on their tasting menu, you're bound to find your old faves and things you've never seen before. We tasted a few rare and premium whiskeys and mescals too, and it cost us less than R300 in total. I really can't recommend this place highly enough. P.S. My only reason for rating the food 3 stars is that we didn't order food. We only got crackers with the tasting.

Very Good experience. We did gin and whiskey tasting. Extensive range of alcohol. Lady was very informative and passionate. Would recommend to visit if you’re in Dullstroom.

If you love whisky, Wild about Whisky is a must visit in Dullstroom. Whisky, gin and tequila tastings are on offer. Tastings range from R85 to more than R4,000.00, depending on the tasting experience you choose. The staff is very friendly with high energy and very informative. They also have snack platters, which goes perfectly with the drinks. 10/10 recommend this experience.

What an experience. We did the whiskey and rum taste. They literally take you through the story of how its made. I highly recommend it. It can get full so reservations are recommended. Masks is required on entry. And their coffee is amazing.

We had an incredible time at the Bird of Prey & Rehabilitation Centre! The bird demonstration was both exciting and educational, and we also tried our hand at fly fishing at their dam - each one of the boys caught a fish, which made the experience all the more memorable. There’s a jungle gym to keep the little ones entertained if they get tired of fishing, and the area is perfect for a relaxing picnic too. Highly recommended for a fun family outing!

Worth the visit, just check on their website for dates when they are open. Amazing how these people take care of the birds that has injuries. The flight show is also spectacular to visit. Would definitely pop in again when I am that site. You can also sponsor birds. They also have a shop where you can buy items to support these birds. They have a small restaurant that you can stop and have something to eat. You can also do fly-fishing or have a picnic at the dam.

I had visited the Bird of Prey Rehabilitation Centre before and knew I had to bring my husband this time. Just as I remembered, the live demonstration was outstanding. The information boards are thoughtfully designed, sharing the unique stories of each bird in a captivating way. We’ll definitely visit again in the future – hopefully with our own kids!

Trout dam, well stocked! Honest, the guy who helped me was very polite and helpful… as were the ladies at the front. Mike - the bird handler who did the demonstration was a great entertainer and the show was amazing. The facility as a whole is very well kept and the birds are appreciated and well looked after! I’ll be back

We spent a very windy midday out trout fishing. The staff are very helpful and the whole fishing experience totally worth it and rewarding. We caught 5 very decently sized trout fish. Definitely coming back to check out the birds next time and do more fishing 😁

I arranged a personalized experience for my wife's birthday, where we had an unforgettable encounter with majestic animals. Abigail, our guide, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, patiently guiding us through everything we needed to understand. I highly recommend this experience and look forward to returning. Huge thanks to Richard, Abigail, and the entire Birds of Prey team for making our day extraordinary!

Well worth a visit, especially if you can join one of the flight shows (about an hour long). Self-guided walk through takes about 45 min. About R80 per South African adult. Details are on the website.

When we came driving in to the temple area it felt as if we were in a different country. This was a fantastic experience. We felt so at peace walking through the gardens and the temple.

The most amazing and beautiful temple. A place filled with so much of peace, tranquility and power. We drove up to Gauteng just for me to visit this beautiful temple. It was definitely an amazing experience. We visited on a Friday. It was nice and quite. The energy and vibration of this temple was definitely something out of this world. It felt as if I was in a different country. Everything about this temple was breathtaking. I look forward to trying their meditation someday. Ps, entrance is free.

Peaceful from the second you walk through the gate. The scale and detail are impressive—fluted columns, bright roofs, calm courtyards—and the main hall has a stillness that makes you whisper without thinking about it. Volunteers were warm and happy to answer simple questions about the artwork and rituals. We took our time wandering the grounds and ended with a tea and snack at the little café. It’s not a long drive, and it feels like a proper mental reset. Dress modestly, move slowly, and enjoy how the city noise drops away.

I went on the mediation retreat. It was great value for money. I would have liked the temple tour to be given at the beginning of the retreat as it helps put things into perspective, but overall, I learnt a lot and really enjoyed it I would recommend

Highly recommended venue to visit for any family who love to explore and discover culture rich sites. We happened to visit on a relatively quiet day. Observed the guidelines required and enjoyed the experience of the environment. They do have an events calendar where the public are invited to attend. Only one piece of advice: Respect their rules and dress code.

What a beautiful temple! It's so peaceful and serene. The monks are friendly and it's looked after so well. All the artwork, statues and even the architecture is kept clean and in excellent condition. I've attended one of it's Chinese New Year Festivals and it was a spectacular event. There were lots of celebrations and lots of stalls with food and merchandise to be bought and it was just overall a fun experience. I'd definitely recommend it and I'll definitely be returning again.

Really good place to find peace of mind. Little bit outside but its worth for a long drive. Special in Chinese new year. You will see different cultures and people all together celebrating it. Different architecture and culture is specifically agenda to visit this place. Visit is needed if you want to experience this for sure.

We did the Lion Walk and Interaction. This was one of the best activities we did during our entire trip! We learned so much about lions and the conservation work that is being done by Colin’s to help their species. It was incredible to learn about their breeding process and the positive impact they’ve been able to make on the lion population. We got to walk with 9 month old cubs and hold 3-4 month old cubs. They were so adorable. We also got to interact with the serval cats and see some of the older lions as well. 10/10 recommend this activity!

My husband and I had the most incredible getaway at Colin's Horseback Africa & Wildlife Education Programs. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome, everyone was friendly, inviting, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can see how much care goes into everything, especially the animals. Their horses are beautifully looked after, and the conservation work they do is truly inspiring. The horseback safari was an unforgettable experience — peaceful, well-guided, and such a special way to connect with nature and wildlife. We stayed at Meerkat Manor, which was cosy and had everything you could need, and ewe nded our evenings relaxing in the woodfire hot tub under the stars. It’s one of those rare places that fills your heart and makes you want to come back again. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves animals, nature, and warm hospitality.

With my wife, we did the wildlife éducations tour and it was really great. We had the opportunity to walk with lions aged of 6 months. Then we saw the Serval. After we did go to the lion's cub enclosure to have a moment with them, it was awesome. But before all of this, they explained to us why this sanctuary exist and why it needs to be there. So not only it is a really Nice place and aventure, but also educational of lions.

Horses were friendly and easy to ride. However upon entering the premises you drive past a small cage-like area with lion cubs which did not seem large enough for the conservation purposes the organisation claimed. We also saw a very thin male adult lion and female lion in a similar sized pen. It was said these were for breeding purposes and conservation but was very questionable and very upsetting for many in our group.

Lovely stay and experience. If you are looking for a genuine bush experience with people who truly care about the animals in their care, you’re in for a treat. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions and they obviously love what they do. The lodge is relaxed, comfortable and clean. It’s not five star luxury, and if that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want a relaxing break from the city with tasty food and welcoming people, then you won’t be disappointed. I also felt very comfortable as a solo female traveller which was important to me.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Collin’s for 4 nights. During this time we did two horse riding safari trail rides- we saw a big variety of antelope, zebras, giraffe and even 3 jackals! The horse riding was superb with beautiful trails across lots of different terrain. Their horses are really special. They also gave us a tour of their ethical lion sanctuary with adult and lion cubs. Also, very cool cervils! With educational component, we learned about both these Cats. There are also amazing hikes including a beautiful hike to a pristine waterfall. The staff couldn’t be better- super friendly, super-helpful, we made some lovely connections. While we were there- they were expanding their rock climbing opportunities- so if that’s something that would interest you, there’s that too. We stayed in the lodge which was comfortable and cozy (with a great fireplace). There are also camping facilities that looked nice. Highly recommend! Angelique

An unforgettable experience!! The most encouraging line that you hear just before the lions are brought out to meet you is that they have not eaten in last 24hrs and are hungry If you love lions, you want to understand them, feel them and get to walk with them then this is the place. It was evident to see and understand the lion behaviour when you look them in the eye or try to walk in front of the male lion you would see the dominance in the young male lion, I was nudged by him to walk behind him and while walking he let me then hold its tail and walk. I got to hold a snake as well 😅 The reason why they have not eaten is that they are lazy … I realised later hahaha ! The whole atmosphere is so nice if you’re a wild life lover.

Had an very interesting tour of the mine, however, expect to see way less than you might think…

We visited Cullinan for work and decided to skip the mine tour since it was too hot, and children under six weren’t allowed. Instead, we explored the restaurants near the entrance, though most were unexpectedly closed, with only a few open. As a keepsake, we took a photo near the most unusually creative street lamp—definitely a unique highlight of our visit!

It's a quiet place. There are a lot of property development. They could do with better bigger roads. Shops are far from the mine.

Great place to visit maybe even stay at , good people and service at the mine

Need to refresh at the Hotel - I'm so impresed with the place - can't wait to see what the mine has to offer

The entrance is good and people are adhering covid19 rules

It's a nice place and well organised

Afsaal is a gem within Dinokeng and should be visited by all. Everything about this camping area is tops. From spotless sparkling ablation facilities to the playground and pool with a lapa for bigger groups and very friendly owners and staff

One of the best all round wedding venues I’ve been to. The game was incredible to see and as surprised considering how close to Pretoria it is. The venue itself ( the chapel, groomsmen’s room, reception area, different quarters) was also perfect and we had an all round amazing experience!

It was my first time visiting, and I was so surprised at how nice this reserve is. There is nice scenery, lots of animals to see, lodges, restaurants and the roads are quite well kept. Dinokeng is a great day out especially if you live in Johannesburg and surrounds.

Dinokeng is lovely, really peaceful. The air is clean and its a greate breakaway from the city. The only down side is that some drivers are unfortunately inconsiderate, speeding on dirt roads in the dark with brights on. Dinokeng needs to better monitor speeding.

An exciting journey through the jungles watching many animals in its own natural habitat spreading through 22000 hectares of land reserve which is a no man’s land otherwise. Entries are restricted through pre booking and very controlled to maintain natural serenity. A life time experience not many country offer these days.

Dinokeng Game Reserve is an absolute gem – the perfect getaway if you’re craving wildlife and nature without driving too far from Gauteng. We spotted hyenas, giraffes, buffalo, White and Black rhino , Hippos and a lot of buck (from a safe distance, of course!). The self-drive route is well marked, and there’s a good mix of open savannah and thick bushveld. What makes it special is how close you feel to the wild – no overcrowding, just you, your car, and the animals. There are some lovely picnic spots and lodges scattered throughout the park if you want to spend a night or two. Highly recommend bringing binoculars, packing snacks, and taking your time. It’s a real African bush experience that’s surprisingly accessible. Will definitely be back!

The reserve, and the rangers and hosts are absolutely amazing. It's pristine and beautiful, and there are many stunning animals to see.

A short 25 minute drive from Pretoria East you'll find a wonderful day outing in the Rietvlei Nature Reserve. At a total cost of R125 for one adult and a kid it is absolutely worth the fee. The staff are friendly, from the moment you enter the gate, to purchasing tickets and entering the Reserve. All were friendly and welcoming. We packed a picnic, our camera and embarked on a self-drive fueled by a bunch of excitement to be out in Nature in search of wildlife. The roads are easily drive able even in a small hatch back vehicle. We stopped at three different bird hides/ lookout points and each were well maintained. We enjoyed a slow meander and eventually ended up at the coffee shop. There is a section that is home to a few Donkeys which the kids love to feed ( bring a bag of carrots, you'll be a favourite) . We enjoyed a coffee and an ice-cream before heading back out to look at more game and birds. We saw a meerkat, lots of Buffalo , zebras, ostriches, and a number of birds. Not much bird variety, but it was midday. After enjoying a good 4.5 hours of driving around we headed back home. There is are restrooms at Reception, by the coffee shop and at the Finfoot hide. All of which were decently maintained and had loo paper. We will most certainly become more regular visitors.

What a pleasant surprise!!! Right on our doorstep and yet I have not frequented the reserve before. It was so easy to get into the reserve, staff were helpful and friendly and it was a day that was really relaxing to view the game and try to spot those elusive cheetahs. Visit the picknic spot, it is so tranquil but get there early if you want a good spot. The old farm house now operating as a restautant needs some tlc. I see how specific little trinkets can produce a steady flow of cash for the reserve from those who want a souvenir.

Close to town but it feels like a small bush day. We rolled the windows down, followed gravel tracks along the water, and sat quietly when the plains opened up. A white rhino sighting turned the whole car into kids for five minutes. Picnic spots are simple and the light is lovely toward evening. You leave dust-coated and happy.

It was a pleasant experience. Innitially we only saw a few animals, like ostridge, a fox, and I think its a Hartebees, but then we found an abundance of animals, especially around the Jakkalsdraai road, that is on your right hand side when you enter the main gate. The Zebras were the best because they are playfull. Also Wildebeest. The scenery is beautiful. It felt as if we were in the bosveld. It was drizzling, but we were still able to go out with raincoats, whereever we were allowed to exit the vehicle. The Lookout stations were topnotch, it was sponsored by "friends of Rietvlei".Unfortunately we couldn't see hippos. . We ordered an omelette at the restaurant/house with memorabillia dated back to the 1900's. I think it's best if you pre- book with the wildlife rangers, they know all the hotspots. I will surely go back again, cause you can braai at the picnic site

We had a wonderful time here. Saw quite a few different animals. Roads are also in good condition for all types of vehicles which is a big plus! We stopped at the coffee shop which served some really great food. Next time we will make use of the lovely braai facilities.

Well maintained and mapped roads. Variety of animals including big game like bufullo, rhinos, hippos. Beautifully kept hides to watch the game. Restaurant on site. Enjoyed the experience.

We were lucky to see so many animals and birds right next to the tarred road. Beautiful reserve. Three hours there are not enough. Remember to take your binoculars and a picnic basket with

🏛️ Iconic seat of the South African government, overlooking Pretoria 🌄 Set within beautifully landscaped gardens with panoramic city views 🗿 Features the Nelson Mandela statue — 9 metres tall with arms raised in triumph 💣 Two Long Tom guns and a war memorial mark the site’s military heritage 🧺 Ideal for walks and picnics in the peaceful terraced gardens 🚗 Ample parking, clean toilets, and visible security on site ☕ No visible café or shop, but plenty of open green space for visitors Full Review The Union Buildings are one of South Africa’s most recognisable landmarks — a magnificent architectural complex set high on a hillside overlooking Pretoria. Designed by Sir Herbert Baker and completed in 1913, the twin-winged sandstone buildings form a powerful symbol of national unity and democracy. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush lawns, tiered gardens, and wide terraces offering sweeping vistas across Pretoria. It’s an ideal spot to stroll, relax, or simply take in the grandeur of the setting. Two historic Long Tom guns frame a war memorial positioned between them, paying tribute to those who served in earlier conflicts. Across the gardens, the commanding Nelson Mandela statue — standing 9 metres tall with outstretched arms — overlooks the capital, symbolising peace and reconciliation. Security is reassuringly visible, and there’s ample parking as well as clean public toilets. While I didn’t spot any cafés or shops, many visitors were enjoying picnics on the lawns beneath the buildings, making good use of the open space and sunshine. It’s hard to think of a more impressive or immaculately kept location in Pretoria — a place that combines architectural splendour, historical weight, and peaceful surroundings in perfect balance. Absolutely worth a visit.

Love that it's well maintained and looks like if visitors came we wont be ashamed.

The Union Building is impressively clean and well-maintained. Security is very noticeable, with police officers always present, which makes visitors feel safe. The garden is beautifully kept, vibrant, and colorful, providing a great backdrop for photos. I loved seeing the statue of Mandela and interesting historical items like the cannon around the grounds. It’s a popular spot for families coming to take photos and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Well kept clean safe environment with historical monuments of our country

The Union Buildings in Pretoria are South Africa’s most iconic landmark, set high on Hill with beautiful terraced gardens and panoramic views of the city. they’re home to the President’s offices. Visitors can stroll through the gardens, view memorials, and admire the impressive statue of Nelson Mandela at the forefront.

In the heart of Pretoria. The is one of the country's historic monuments that still serve a unique purpose in country's politics. Free entrance grants you the opportunity to experience the nostalgic peice of South Africa's diverse heritage. Cool place to visit for a picnic, or social media pics. 😉

Beautiful location, with a view over the cbd of Pretoria.

It is always wonderful to walk around the zoo. There are plenty of animals to see, there are however some enclosures that does not have any animals in as they are under construction. All animals are well looked after. There is information boards on some of the enclosures, I really wished there was more information boards regarding the animal that is kept in the enclosure. There are enough toilets which are neat and clean. There are big open grass areas where you can have a picnic. There are also benches all over the zoo where you can sit and look at the animals. I did however wait for the shark feeding time and talk, but no one showed up and I left after 15min. Was a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing how the sharks gets feeded. The shops only have basic items like cooldrink, water, ice cream and small packet of chips. The restaurant has a view items on the menu that you can choose from. The parking R30 is very safe as no hawkers are allowed inside the gate. They are transitioning into a cashless environment. Overall I had a great time and it was wonderful to see these amazing creatures up close.

It was a good experience. R100 adults & R70 kids. When we attended, there was an ongoing event and a big crowd. There was ample parking and plenty of security looking after the cars. The Zoo staff were friendly and there were no queues, we went on a Sunday. We had a good day overall. The Zoo is huge, there are golf carts for use to drive around should you prefer. I think because of the event, the cleanliness was an issue. We saw a few animals. There is also an aquarium and farm animals.

"I recently visited the Pretoria Zoo and had an amazing time! The zoo is home to a wide variety of animals, including majestic lions, monkeys, and birds. We also enjoyed the snack bars and fish exhibits. The layout is well-designed, making it easy to navigate and see all the exhibits. My niece and nephew had a blast and are already asking when they can come back!"

A Forgotten Gem! What a wonderful experience, truly a trip down memory lane! The place is spotless, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and all the animals are clearly well cared for and in great condition. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both nostalgic and so well maintained. A hidden treasure worth re-rediscovering! Ps take a picnic basket and cooler box with!

Although I’m typically not a fan of zoos, the Pretoria zoo was a day well spent. It is clear that the wellbeing of the animals is being prioritized as they all appear healthy and are active and animated. Most have large enclosures that replicate their natural environment (and most appear to have company or “friends” with very few lone animals). Considering the circumstances, it’s understandable that the zoo does not have many refreshment options, and the infrastructure is a little worn (some peeling paint, and apparent age of some of the structures). The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the bathrooms are clean, and the zoo is well kept. The natural landscape of the zoo is stunning and the river flowing through the zoo is a sight to behold. There’s a lovely path behind the lion enclosures that take you to lookout points that show the Pretoria skyline and a good view of the Lion and Tiger enclosures. We went in spring so we were lucky enough to see quite a few baby animals. I hope they receive the support needed to restore the zoo! They are clearly doing the best they can with the unfortunate circumstances they’ve been dealt.

I recently visited the National Zoological Gardens in Pretoria and was thoroughly impressed! The zoo is home to a stunning array of animals, from majestic lions and giraffes to adorable penguins and playful monkeys. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with plenty of shade and picnic areas to relax. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the various shows and exhibits add an extra layer of fun to the visit. A must-visit attraction for animal lovers and families alike!

My main concerns are that some animals’ living conditions seem rather poor and not well maintained to reflect their natural habitats. In addition, the open sewage and pollution flowing through the Apies River greatly detract from the zoo experience, especially for picnickers, as it produces an unpleasant odour, and some aquatic animals, such as ducks, could become affected by the waste. The glass panels, especially in the reptile section, had a few smudges that spoiled the experience of taking good photos. Another downside was that some of the main exhibit animals, like the elephants were unavailable, the aquarium closed quite early, and the cable car was not operational. Despite these setbacks, I still believe the zoo offers a fun and educational experience, providing an opportunity to learn about a wide variety of animal species. My highlights from the visit came from a few animals, some absolutely melted my heart, while others made me fear for my very life. I was especially curious about the Ground Hornbill and how it behaved in my presence. It carried what appeared to be dead chicks, which left me wondering whether they kill their young, show remorse, or perhaps do it as a way of getting treats. I couldn’t quite tell, and it was unfortunate that there wasn’t a stall selling any of their favourite goodies. The Grey Crowned Crane was another fascinating encounter. It was jumping about as though it was challenging me to a fight or boasting about its size, or maybe even trying to court me, I couldn’t be sure! Still, I thoroughly enjoyed watching its dancing rituals. The Palm Cockatoo truly melted my heart with the sounds it made, like a small child who knew nothing but love. The penguins were absolutely delightful, so lively and full of character that they could easily hold their own against the best choirs around. They’re definitely a must-see exhibit. The camel was so lovely; it came over and posed for a few photos, even letting me pet it and take some close-up shots. The lemurs were just as charming, so playful that I found myself playing peek-a-boo with them. The reptile section, however, wasn’t really my favourite. I tried to steel myself as I walked past each snake, until I came across a massive python, that nearly made me drop my phone! The African Wild Dogs also gave me quite a fright; their fencing didn’t seem as high as the lions’, and for a moment I genuinely felt they might leap out and hunt me down. I can’t complain, as the ticket price was half the usual cost. Even though some animals stayed in their sheds because of the extreme heat, I still look forward to returning with my children for another fun and slightly scary educational experience. Next time, I hope to visit the aquarium and take a ride on the golf cart as well.

What an amazing experience as an adult. Brought back lots of memories of when I visited in primary school. There's obviously lots of changes, sad though. But still glad I could come and experience this as a adult. Very neat, and friendly and helpful staff awaits you.

Driving up, the building sits on its hill like it was made for long horizons. Inside is denser than you expect, with careful displays and quiet side rooms that make you take your time. We climbed to the upper levels, leaned on the rail, and let the city and ridges spread out beneath us. Outside, the grounds are tidy and good for a slow stroll. It is a visit that lands without rushing you along.

Have over the years caught glimpses of the huge edifice of the Voortrekker Monument that is conspicuously visible from almost all directions around the hill on which the granite structure and its huge complex is built. Undertook an impulsive visit to the Schanskop Fort located in the same precinct, and ventured into the Transvaal Voortrekker Museum, adjacent the Complex Reception / Ticket office. Was impressed by the management and maintenance of the cultural complex, and especially the efforts undertaken to preserve and secure the historical artifacts.

Voortrekker Monument takes you back in time. It’s neat, clean and well maintained. Hiking up to the view point and museum was easy.

It was a beautiful and mesmerising experience. Will definitely go for more of these. The venue definitely does not need high heels. Where flats or wedges/kitten heels or just pretty flats if dressing up for the theme (in this case, it was Bridgerton themed and we were encouraged to dress up in the Bridgerton style). The architecture especially inside is beautiful, the ambience is mesmerising as is the stringed orchestra. The commentary is lovely and humourous and the whole experience is wonderful. Leaves one feeling uplifted, inspired and clears mental stress. Extra's I would add to make the experience more special: An opportunity for couples to dance, a themed photobooth and champagne/welcome drinks offered right at the entrance of the venue (at a price) would have been nice extra's. Or ordering from the restaurant and having people come and deliver to you would be nice since we climbed many, many stairs and had things like bags, etc to carry. But overall, beautiful experience.

Went for the Saturday Parkrun, loved the vibe and route, the music and energetic spirit. The gardens are beautiful, cute coffee shops and restaurant based on a school classroom theme, traditional menu based on SA"s favorites like "braaibroodjies" and "melktert" at very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

A true testament to many moments in South African history. Beautifully curated. The Pierneef piece is such a masterpiece to behold.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Regal Escape at the Emperor’s Palace My stay at the Emperor’s Palace was nothing short of enchanting — an experience that felt less like a hotel visit and more like a journey into a world of refined elegance and thoughtful luxury. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warmth and grace that instantly set the tone for the entire stay. The architecture and décor were breathtaking — a seamless fusion of opulence and modern sophistication. Every detail, from the grand chandeliers to the intricate wall art, whispered stories of royal splendor. My suite was a sanctuary of comfort: spacious, immaculately kept, and adorned with every amenity one could imagine. The bed was divine, the linens impossibly soft, and the view… simply mesmerising. Service at the D'oreale Emperor’s Palace deserves the highest praise. The staff anticipated every need with an almost intuitive precision — always present, yet never intrusive. Every interaction felt genuine, every gesture thoughtful. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of professionalism and heartfelt hospitality. The culinary experience was equally unforgettable. Each meal was a symphony of flavours, artfully presented and beautifully paired with exquisite wines. Dining here felt like an occasion in itself — a celebration of taste and artistry. Whether relaxing by the serene courtyard, indulging in a spa treatment, or simply savouring the palace’s tranquil ambiance, I felt completely enveloped in luxury and calm. In every sense, the D'oreale Emperor’s Palace lives up to its name — a true palace where guests are treated like royalty. I left with a full heart, a rejuvenated spirit, and the certainty that I will return. A masterpiece of hospitality — five stars are simply not enough.

This facility is an architectural marvel. The exterior design and the interior 👌 Upon entering, you have access to social amenities that take you there. Casinos 🎰, entertainment joints, gift shops, etc. It's a nice place, especially if you choose to have a date and prefer indoors ambience. Good place for photography.

We saw a production at the theater, and enjoyed dinner afterwards. Emperors is a one stop shop fora variety of entertainment preferences. With all under a single roof, making a selection is easy. The establishment are competing against one other for your patronage resulting is excellent service. The bathrooms are very clean and serviced, and parking is plentiful and safe.

Just from outside there are guards you can tell nothing will go wrong. As you get inside the theme matches every aspect. And the serving of clients. You never get to be on the lookoout for a waiter, they are always on your side just ready to serve you.

Dirty and load. Not much choice in good quality restaurants. Go there if you have to. Old and dated and smells of smoke. Rather go to monte casino. A lot more family friendly. Any restaurant next to or close to including News Caffe needs to be avoided. Lots of drunk patrons , smoking and noise disturbing other restaurant patrons

The place is fantastic, but the jacuzzi is inside the spa and it is ran by a separate company. We came here to relax on the jaccuzzi and found out that it was another charge. We liked that the hotel is connected to the casino, theaters, and restaurants without having to go outside.

Friendly security More than enough parking Variety of shops Maybe a store with snacks will be popular if you're not hungry enough to eat out. We had an amazing meal however, served by an excellent waitress!!

This is a must do while in South Africa ! I enjoyed seeing the cheetahs up close and learning so much about them ! They have so much freedom and space and live a wonderful life ! The cheetah run and game drive feedings are incredible! I had no idea that they had wildebeests, zebras and vultures as well! Nikki was very responsive to emails , and Sam and Winston were the best tour guides! Thank you for such a lovely day !

We truly enjoyed our visit to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre! Our guide was very knowledgeable & told us many interesting facts about the animals there, including the cheetahs, & answered our many questions. As frequently travelers, we’ve visited numerous centres & seen many animals. We were MOST impressed as to how healthy & well-fed these animals were…something we’ve not always seen! I give highest marks to this centre & staff for their obvious dedication and care. This centre is definitely worth visiting!

Excellent walking tour. We saw amazing cats of various types and kinds. Truly a special experience and I would highly recommend. Preferably do it in the morning when it is a bit cooler and the animals a little more mobile. Excellent guide Jemima, knowledgeable, friendly, and loves her job. They have several package options including the cheetah run. Look it up on their website as this is their most popular package.

Truly impressive to witness the work done here and the dedito conservation and education. Thank you for this special experience 😊

Incredible. If you have holiday plans that don't include this, you're mad.

Great experience with our two guides! We had a wonderful moment learning about the cheetah. This was amazing 🐆

What an amazing experience. One of the best experiences. Sam was an awesome guide.

This is another taxi rank, sometimes you can't pass, you want will wait a little longer taxis making U-turn, reversing., don't care

Dirty

Bus stops needs a shelter from the sun and rain

Very clean place, fast services

It's world class ...

On time

Awesome experience

Nelson Mandela Square brought back such beautiful memories for me. Walking through it reminded me of twenty years ago when I was dating my husband. We would go to the movies, enjoy a few drinks, and then end the evening with a wonderful meal. Being at the Square gave me that same feeling all over again. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, the food and drinks are excellent, and the entire space has a special energy about it. It is not just a place to visit, it is a place where memories are made.

The art work is captivating. The place is inspiring and clean. Don't muss the quotations on the floor as you walk towards the statue. With enjoyable historical timeline on the wall right being the statue.

An expansive, popular, luxurious tourist attraction interconnected with several shopping centres, hotels and many more. Be mindful as you can easily get lost due to it's ginormous size with several exits and entrance points. Personnels around are often friendly and ready to help.

We popped into the square for a quick photo and ended up staying longer than planned. The Madiba statue is bigger than you expect and somehow still feels welcoming—everyone taking turns for pictures, kids laughing, a busker off to one side. We grabbed a table, ordered coffees, and watched the plaza do its thing. As the lights came on the place took on that easy evening glow. Restaurants ring the square, staff were friendly, and it felt relaxed to just sit and chat between snaps. Simple stop, great atmosphere, and the kind of Joburg moment you’re happy to have on your camera roll.

Nelson Mandela Square is a central landmark in Sandton, Johannesburg, named in honor of the freedom fighter. It features a 6-meter bronze statue of Mandela in an open pose — a symbol of hope and hospitality. The square blends European-style architecture with fountains, cafés, and shops, attracting millions of visitors. Opened in 2004, it became the first public monument to Mandela in South Africa and a site for charitable fundraising.

Please to visit Jozi mas visit Nelson Mandela Square Could be one of the best shopping centres in jozi ,The selection of shops, brands, restaurants and speciality shops are mind blowing. Staff friendly and very helpful.

Just a lovely venue to enjoy a night of theatre and intercontinental dining at fine restaurants. Great vibe, ample parking 🅿️. Safe environment.

Fantastic day out with the family and a must go place if you visit Johannesburg. The casino is very clean and very well maintained. It has lots to offer including gambling machines, quirky shops, lots of places to eat and drink, a food hall and an arcade centre for the kids, as well as bowling, a theatre and a cinema. We had an excellent day here and have been many times over the years.

Visited twice—once in the afternoon and again at night—and it felt like two sides of the same place. Day: easy parking, bright “streets,” and plenty of space to wander. We found a table for coffee and a late lunch without booking, and there were quiet corners where the kids could “just chill” between the arcade and the bird gardens. Signage made it simple to find bathrooms and venues. Night: busier, “date-night” energy around the theatre and cinema. We’d booked dinner, which helped—queues at the popular spots kicked in after 7pm but kept moving. Staff were upbeat, floors were tidy, and it was an easy walk from dinner to the show without feeling rushed. Bottom line: daytime is “laid-back and family-friendly,” nighttime is “lively with lots of choice.” One roof, many options—just book if you’re going for a prime-time meal.

I enjoyed the whole ambiance here. The white roses, along with the great landscaping, were just amazing. The food was okay, not sure it was because it was a business bouquet but for the ambiance I expected much more from the food side. The rooms are sizable enough and cozy.

Inside, guests are treated to a world of entertainment — from a bustling casino floor filled with excitement to a variety of restaurants offering local and international cuisine to suit every palate. Beyond the casino, the property features a range of nearby shops, making it ideal for guests who enjoy browsing or indulging in a bit of retail therapy. Families are also well catered for, with a dedicated play area where children can have fun in a safe, supervised environment. For those seeking cultural or evening entertainment, the on-site theatre hosts top-quality shows and live performances throughout the year. Whether you’re visiting for business, a weekend getaway, or a family outing, this casino hotel provides the perfect blend of relaxation, excitement, and convenience — a one-stop destination where everyone can find something to enjoy.

We didn't go to gamble this time but enjoyed the restaurants and their wide choice of cuisines. Since it's opening the authentic design and decor still hasn't gone out of fashion. It's truly a tourist attraction in our mind!!

Wonderful experience for my first visit. It surely felt like i was in another country. I loved it. Everyone was friendly and the casino and areas were very clean.

Beautiful place to pass the time enjoy and get grate food,, you can Walk around with the kids and go bowling as well

The place is a great dive in the history of South Africa’s (in)justice system and its ties to Apartheid. It has great depth of information in the life of prisoners and makes for a reality shock at times. Unfortunately, many of the media such as videos and audio was not working during the visit. If you can, carve out 3-4h for a full in-depth visit.

Visited Constitution Hill as part of a tour organised by Mo Afrika Tours. We arrived a few minutes late and hopped on to the 10am tour hosted by guide Brenda. I counted 48 people in out group which made it difficult to hear when we were moving in and out of confined spaces. There seemed to be another tour that started after ours that only had 10 people in it. Despite this, Brenda commanded an audience - she was an amazing storyteller and still had humour and was entertaining despite the seriously depressing subject matter around cell block 4. The tour encompassed the main cells, solitary confinement cells, a Mandela/Gandhi exhibition and then onto the Consitutional Courts where we saw inside the Chambers area and where the justices sit and a huge woven South African flag. Flame of Democracy burns outside. Would have liked to have spent longer here and checked out the cells Mandela was held in but it was just one stop of many on our day tour.

We joined a guided tour and it was one of those visits that gets under your skin—standing in the old cells, reading notes on the walls, then stepping into the light of the Constitutional Court a few minutes later. Our guide was calm and clear, gave space for questions, and never rushed the heavy bits. We took a couple of photos, then mostly just listened. After the tour we wandered the courtyards and let it sink in. Sun on the brick, bits of artwork tucked into corners, and that wide view over Joburg that makes you breathe a little deeper. It felt honest, human, and hopeful—like the kind of place you’re grateful to have seen in person.

Visiting Constitution Hill with my school learners was an unforgettable and powerful experience. The museum offers a deep and emotional insight into South Africa’s prison history and the journey towards democracy through the Constitution. The learners were fully engaged and amazed by the stories shared. It was incredibly moving to witness their emotional reactions as they connected with the harsh realities that former prisoners faced. The visit sparked meaningful conversations and helped the learners understand the value of human rights and the importance of our Constitution. This is truly one of Gauteng’s most important historical sites. Every South African especially the youth should visit Constitution Hill at least once. It’s an eye-opening experience that leaves a lasting impact.

Being an Indian I have learned a lot about Gandhi and the Satyagraha movement during the visit here.

Constitution Hill is one of those places that sticks with you long after you leave. Walking through the old prison blocks and then into the Constitutional Court feels intense in a good way. You get this heavy sense of what happened there, mixed with a calm, hopeful feeling in the court itself. The guides do a great job of explaining the history without rushing you, and there are a lot of small details that make you stop and think. I’d say it’s more of a quiet, reflective outing than a fun day out, but it’s absolutely worth it. Allow enough time to read, look properly and sit for a bit in the court. Afterward, stepping outside and seeing the Joburg skyline from the hill feels different once you’ve taken in everything that happened on that site.

Ek was al in n paar museums. Hierdie was een van die beste en hartroerende ondervinge van my 63 jaar. An unforgettable experience. Unfortunately I was pressed for time and could only spend 1h30 there. Will definitely going back. Our guide (Brenda/Ntombekaya?) was eloquent, informed and humorous. She added to the overall fantastic experience. Dankie!!

Such a fun and educational experience! We had a great time exploring all the reptiles, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting facts and giving us a closer look at the animals. After the tour, we enjoyed a relaxing coffee with friendly service. It's a fantastic outing for families and kids! There's a big play area with a jungle gym, and the little ones loved feeding the adorable bunnies that roam freely in the park. Highly recommended!

What an experience! Friendly staff you meet at the entrance when you pay for your ticket, the tour guide Brendon is very knowledgeable and lets you touch and hold a baby croc and some snakes. When you enter you get a bag of carrots to feed the roaming bunnies and tortoises, you can walk around and see baby Crocs, medium Crocs and larger Crocs. There is ziplining over the larger Crocs as well as a play area for the kids. There is a restaurant that serves light food and pizza as well. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, would definitely recommend!

I had an amazing experience at the Crocodile and Reptile Park! From the moment we arrived, the staff, including the owners and waiters, were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The pizza was delicious, thanks to the talented pizza makers who really know their craft. One of the highlights was the educational tour led by our guide, who was knowledgeable and engaging, making learning about the reptiles not only informative but also fun. This park is also the best place for a child's party, as they offer a private section that makes the event special and memorable. Every aspect of our visit was fantastic, and I highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. Thank you for a wonderful day!

The kids enjoyed the experience, but even my six year old was expecting a slightly bigger variety, but they enjoyed the interactivity. I am slightly concerned what happens with like the baby tortoises and if the animals used in the shows get anxious with the amount of interactions they do. But, with saying that, no animals appear to be in bad shape or unhappy. +We recently had a kids birthday party there as well, where they built their own pizzas etc. It was such a great experience. The kids loved it and the staff looking after us were amazing.

Had a great experience! Loved the tour guide such a warm and passionate guy! He knows his stuff and how to make it sound so interesting! Great for all ages, there were even bunnies and turtles to feed carrots to!🤩

Nice hidden gem a lot of crocs and snakes some rabbits and tortoise too. Nice coffee shop and restaurant. Good party venue for kids with a nice jungle gym too. They sell crocodile oils as well a bit expensive but I think its just an expensive product.

It was absolutely worth it it! We had the most divine time. Stanley showed us around and was so happy and knowledgeable and good with my 5 year old in his explanations and the interactions. The carrots were plentiful and the play area was magical. It was so nice to see the animals all so well cared for and clearly comfy and happy. Such a magical experience
