Rietvlei Zoo Farm is a beautiful farm that is located in the South of Johannesburg and offers a wide range of recreation, education, sport and family outdoor activities. The Picnic Park lapas/braai areas and Rietvlei Trails are set in the most tranquil settings on the farm, surrounded by natural wetlands, large willow and oak trees and beautiful gardens and lawns, where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine and outdoors.
The farm offers hiking, walking, running, cross-country and mountain biking activities with a variety of distances. Trails are all well-marked with different colour arrows. We will be doing the 10km hike, but there are also 5km and shorter distances for those who want a slower pace. The trails are dotted with cute little inspirational signs and offer some variety: flats, inclines, a few challenging bits, but all totally manageable. Dogs are welcome, but on-leash at all times.
We will have a braai afterwards, but there is also food available to buy, if you would rather do that.
