One of the great escapes of Johannesburg, the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden in Roodepoort, Gauteng, is almost 300 hectares of landscaped and natural veld that is a haven for birds. Our 5km hike will start at the waterfall, follow the river and mountain paths and offers a chance to spot the resident breeding pair of Verreaux’s (black) eagles.
Bring your water and hat as the top sections can get quite hot. Join us for a coffee at the beautiful restaurant in the centre of the gardens after the hike.
