The Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve is the largest official nature reserve in Johannesburg, and it's well worth the short drive from the center of the city. The area contains diverse wildlife, including zebra and black wildebeest. There are also six hiking trails that range in difficulty.
Esta zona de Johannesburgo cuenta con temáticas variadas y está repleta de historia. El Tribunal Constitucional de Sudáfrica, un símbolo en la lucha de Sudáfrica por la libertad, se encuentra hoy donde antiguamente la prisión Old Fort solía albergar criminales comunes y políticos hasta suu cierre en 1983. Tras estas paredes estuvieron encarcelados alguna vez figuras como Robert Sobukwe, Mahatma Gandhi y Nelson Mandela. El lugar fue transformado en un monumento de justicia. Ofrecen visitas guiadas e interactivas regulares.
Built around the No. 14 shaft of Crown Mines, this city is an authentic reproduction of Johannesburg at the beginning of the 1900s. There are fully furnished miner's houses with original furniture and fittings, including pressed ceilings. The museum exhibits include antique clothing and children's toys, which take the visitor back 100 years to the city that was. A train encircles the park and many shops offer interesting curios. You can also visit the original gold mine in a lift that goes down to 220 meters below the surface. An on site casino is open 24 hours daily.
Aproximadamente 12 kilómetros al norte de Krugersdorp, y a un tiro de piedra del Hekpoort Road, las cuevas de Sterkfontein son un espectáculo asombroso de formaciones de estalactitas y estalagmitas. Las visitas guiadas llevan a los turistas más allá de estas formaciones hacia un lago subterráneo. Un paraíso de los espeleólogos, las cuevas son testimonio de descubrimientos recientes de restos humanos ancestrales, algunos los más antiguos del mundo. Para información sobre precios y detalles deben arreglarse por anticipado. Generalmente están abiertas todo el año.
Kloofendal Nature Reserve was founded on the site of the first payable gold mining operation of 1884 (this was prior to the main reefs being discovered). The old shafts have been restored and are national monuments, open to view. The wildlife is generally of the smaller variety, the main attraction being the pristine vegetation contained by the reserve. Walking trails traverse the area. The facility is also occasionally offered as a live music venue. It closes from May to September due to the high risk of veld (bush) fires during this time.
Bringing to life the almost lost concept of the Bioscope, this venue is a movie theater that strives to steer clear from mainstream cinema, focusing more on independent cinema. Located on the ground floor of the bustling Main Street Life building, The Bioscope opened its doors in 2010 and since then has been providing the locals with a space where they can discover something different, movies that deal with issues that matter, rather than the glamor of the mainstream cinema. From films made by not-so-known local filmmakers, to films made by filmmakers from around the globe, The Bioscope is the ideal stop for any cinema lover. See the website to know more.
