Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve

The 10 kilometres trail is challenging with about 400-450m elevation gain. It’s marked, but I felt like some spots also needed markings in between. There’s no shops so you have to bring your own snacks and drinks. There’s braai area available to use so you can have a nice picnic with family afterwards. They don’t sell anything so bring everything you want to eat . There’s guards at the main entrance, then plenty of parking inside. Overall, I am gonna go back again, it’s good.

The kids and myself love this hiking spot, great place to hang out for the entire day, hike, walk, game drive, museum, play area n braai facilities buildings and signages needs attention, entrance n main office, on trial etcVisited onWeekday

I went for a hike here with some friends. The entrance fee was atound 50 per person and around 30 for vehicle access. We could not use cash when we visited. There wildlife to be seen and there is not much here besides the hikes and a self drive around. However, it seems excellent for cycling, and there were quite a few cyclists. It is very safe. The park is beautiful, and the hiking trail is excellent. There is almost no litter at all. The hike is a good deal harder than hennops and cradlemoon, so be warned. iMy watch tells me it was an 1800m elevation ii over 11.7 km. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes hiking. FYI, there is no implacable implacable implacable iiiiiito one one 6666⁶66666or drinks here. I imagine it could get very hot here. There is very little cover during the majority of the hike so hats and sunscreen highly advised.

What a lovely place! The 10 km or above 10 km hike routes are no joke. Not for the faint hearted. You have to be very fit to do them or you will take verrrrry long. Extra hot sunny days makes it more tough. Other than that, it is beautiful and green. I enjoyed the 10 km alot, will do it again this year. Saw some animals in the distance. R80 entry fee, we could only pay by card Restrooms: They are inside the main building , the outside ones sadly don't work

The information centre has closed the auditorium. No water at picnic spots only at main office. The picnic spot in the middle of game drive is closed and overgrown and we were not informed beforehand, so had to wait to braai for my kids at the end of the drive. I remember the roads and pathways being well looked after. Looks like that will be our last visit there.

The hike I did was very steep and took me long but the reward of getting to the top of the mountain was so worth it. The views there are breath taking and it's so peaceful and quite. It's an amazing place to just go on a hike and have a pick nick after wardsVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Disappointed with the lack of general maintenance invasion plants all over, grass and weeds growing in the road. Meditation huts completely destroyed, the Damwall broken near the huts. Picnic site overgrown and not operational. If you can look pass all of this then you see the beauty

The Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve is a great spot for any cyclist want to train in a safe environment. A full lap of around 58km has approximately 1300m of elevation gain. It is a tough and demanding training course. Plan for each lap to take approximately 2-3 hours. The reserve is approximately 45 minutes from central Johannesburg. You will need to pay an entry fee as it is a national reserve and please note that only card payments are possible. It is an absolutely stunning place to ride your bicycle. Pristine roads without potholes, surrounded by wildlife and steep climbs are some of it's main features. Please be aware that there are some tricky and fast downhills, please exercise caution. There is poor cellphone signal in some parts and it would be difficult to access help in an emergency. It can also be very windy in this area and this makes the fast downhills even more tricky. It is best to enter via the entrance on Heideilburg road and this has th easiest access to the main parking area. There are a few braai spots near the main parking where you can enjoy a picnic or braai after your ride. Picnic area: There are a few braai spots in the main parking lot area which are great for a picnic or braai after your hike, walk or cycle.

I had a great time. The hiking trails with signage make it easy to access. It would be nice to have a food area restaurants.

Quiet nice place for hiking and biking... looks let go though... Vegetation creeping into the roads...
