Nature & Wildlife in Gauteng

This multi-stop itinerary might be challenging to plan on your own, but booking a guided tour means you can visit an animal sanctuary, the Chameleon African Curio Market, and the Lesedi Cultural Village easily in a single day. No need to rent a car to access the animal sanctuary, about an hour outside Johannesburg, where you'll seek out and photograph elephants on a game drive. Pick up some souvenirs at the curio market and enjoy a traditional buffet lunch at the Lesedi Cultural Village before heading back to Johannesburg.

Enjoy two popular family attractions in one day - the Lesedi Cultural Park and the Lion Park - and enjoy free time at both. First, discover the rich history, culture, and traditions of Africa's Xhosa, Zulu, Pedi, Basotho, and Ndebele tribes during a visit to the Lesedi Cultural Village. Then, enjoy guaranteed lion sightings - one of the Big Five - at the Lion Park, along with zebras, cheetahs, giraffes, hyenas, and wild dogs.
