The 6 Best Things to do Adventurous in Krugersdorp, Gauteng

September 1, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Krugersdorp (Afrikaans for Kruger's town) is a mining city in the West Rand, Gauteng Province, South Africa founded in 1887 by Marthinus Pretorius. Following the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand, a need arose for a major town in the west of the reef. The government bought part of the Paardekraal farm and named the new town after the Transvaal president, Paul Kruger. Krugersdorp no longer has a separate municipal government after it was integrated into Mogale City Local Municipality along with surrounding towns. It is now the seat of government for Mogale City.

Wild Cave Adventures

Abseil in through the roof of a cavern used on the reality show, "The Amazing Race", dressed in overalls, helmets and torches. Spend 1.5 - 2 hours on an underground adventure by torchlight with highly experienced and knowledgable guides. All Wild Cave Adventures sites are within a 40 minute drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage area. Booking is always necessary to secure a place on an adventure. On booking, final details are sent through with where to meet, what to bring and what to wear to make the trip enjoyable. Excursions run all year round - daytime and early evening twilight tours available where the group come out to a starry sky and optional pizza delivery afterwards. No previous experience is needed but all adventurers should be able-bodied, reasonably fit and keen to try something different! Young adventurers, from the age of 8 -16 years of age, are most welcome to join specific adventures that are tailor-made for them at a special price.

Quite a bit cave in a most unexpected place. Filled with interested formations and massive stalagmites/stalactites. You can often get a private tour as you may be the only visitors at the time.

Visited this park 3rd-4th April and had a great time. As well as having a self drive safari we also visited the breeding centre ( which is included in price), and we’re lucky enough to see 4 day old white lion cubs with their mother, fantastic experience & one you would not normally see in the wild. We also paid extra to go in with 2, 5 month old lion cubs which for me was a dream come true. We stayed over in one of the log cabins over looking the lion park & could here the roar of the lions during the night. The log cabins are beautiful & you even have your own private hot tub & briie ( barbecue). Throughly enjoyed our trip & would recommend this park for families also.

Reviewed By alenao635

Beautiful caves. Our tour guide was very friendly and answered most of our questions. I enjoyed this tour, this is definitely a place you should visit if you are looking for adventure and also you are interested in geography and archeology. The temperature drops in the caves so wear something warm. A great way to spend the weekend!
