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

September 8, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

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

Willy has been the most amazing guide for our group. Although we spent a week with Willy, it wasn't enough! The raw experiences are absolutely eye-opening and I couldn't thank him enough for that. I now have a high-bar of expectations for future endeavors and guides, but I truly want to thank Willy for his hard work, dedication, and knowledge he showed us on our one in a lifetime trip.

Darren's input made the difference for a group of 4 enthustiastic hikers that took on Mafadi, Drakensberg during December 2020. Even although the group didn't go with Darren, he made sure our team was well equipped with route plans, conditioning and training plans, etc. Darren's love for the mountains is contagious and he was really a great sport sharing from his experiences and in entertaining all our questions and sharing his expert advise. The input Darren gave us on meal plans, gear plans, travel plans was highly appreciated. The trip would not have been a success without Darren. Unfortunately, I had to pull out of the trip on the morning we were set to head to the berg, but hearing first hand from the experience of my friends, if you are going to the berg , tackling any sizeable peak or range you don't want to tackle it without Darren, or at least first calling him!

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.

Stephen was the BEST tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals & the park itself. We had a very fun small group & were able to see many different types of animals. Stephen provided us with extra perks like the Lion & Wild dog feedings and the Wonder Mine. The Wonder Mine was an unexpected occurance I didn’t know I had been missing! It was beautiful and unreal. Everything about the day was great; from the giraffe and Springbok, to the baby warthogs (so adorable) and the wildebeest! Every single part of this trip was nothing short of amazing! Thank you Stephen for your warm smile and knowledge of the park, animals, & Jozi in general. I will definitely share your info with my travel group! I wish you much success in the future - you truly, truly deserve it!
