Two trails, neither too taxing, allow hikers to take in the special beauty of this nature reserve. The more energetic can take on the seven kilometre trail, while the two kilometre trail can be managed by younger children. At the end, having worked up a good appetite, there are braai facilities available.

One or two-day trails can be taken through the stunning Kromdraai Conservancy, which lies in the Cradle of Mankind world heritage site - a wonderful outing for friends and family. Along the way stop off at the Wondercave, the site of some spectacular discoveries about early man, as well as a crystal-clear underground lake. In addition to enjoying the beautiful surroundings, you can take a tour of a gold mine and visit the Rainbow Trout Farm.

This sizeable nature reserve features three family hiking trails of four, 10 and 17 kilometres in length. There's no need to rush to complete the longer hikes as there are huts where you can stay the night. If you'd rather experience nature without expending much energy, you can entertain yourself at the museum and auditorium. Take in superb wildlife and nature conservation videos or, if you're feeling more adventurous, join a game drive.
