What to do and see in Krugersdorp, Gauteng: The Best Private Tours

January 28, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

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.

The Rhino and Lion Reserve is an excellent venue to spend an afternoon or morning viewing some of Africa’s most beautiful animals in an attractive and open environment close to Jo’burg and Pretoria. Reachable in about an hour’s drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria it’s particularly suited if you do not have the time to visit one of the larger reserves further away. Important: Do not confuse with the Lion Park which is much smaller and does not have the same number of animals. Here also the Lions/Cheetahs and African Wild Dogs although not roaming free with the other animals are in much bigger and more humane spaces. This greatly reduces their aggressive behavior towards the vehicles viewing them.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Driver/guide, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Lunch

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Food and drinks, unless specified, Gratuities

I really enjoyed the Pretoria tour. I was the only one taking it. My tour guide picked me up and dropped me off from my place. Very punctual, very friendly and very knowledgeable. He showed me beautiful places, talked about history, culture, current situation in South Africa. I learned more on that half day trip than during my 3 weeks I've already been here in SA. I would definitely recommend ????

My boyfriend and I did all our tours with Nic from Africa Moja Tours & Transfers-Cradle of Human Kind, Lesedi, Soweto, and Pretoria. We were very nervous booking tours as it was all last minute and we did not have a lot of time to research. However, our first day went so great with Nic that we booked another day. He is a very safe driver, incredibly knowledgeable and smart, and a great person to hang out with while touring the area. Nic and the tours were truly one of the highlights of our three week trip in South Africa and I would highly recommend using this company and Nic for your tours. I am so grateful we had an incredible experience on our first time visiting.

My mother and I were collected from the airport by Pastor. She was in a wheelchair due to a back problem. Pastor was polite, patient, helpful, and very interesting to chat with due to his knowledge of the country and region. He also took us back to the airport. At check-in, when I realized that I'd packed some disallowed items, I called him and he came straight back. Within 45 minutes, he'd delivered the items to my sister to deal with.
