Urban game reserve
Gauteng, South Africa
Krugersdorp Game Reserve is a small reserve on the western edge of Johannesburg, inside Gauteng, a place for a morning drive rather than a safari: white rhino, giraffe, zebra, eland and a fenced lion camp, with chalets and camping for a night out of the city. It sits on the edge of the Cradle of Humankind, so it combines with the caves and the Magaliesberg. It is malaria-free and forty minutes from Sandton, and its value is exactly that closeness.

Why book here
Wild places survive when the communities around them earn more from protecting wildlife than from anything that would replace it. Every stay you book through Spekboom carries a conservation contribution built into the price, never added on top, so choosing where you sleep becomes a way to fund the people and projects keeping this landscape intact.
