Ultimate Hikes of Joburg

Hi there!

I'm Harrison (yes like Harrison Ford), and I've been hiking the trails of South Africa for as long as I can remember. In this guide, you'll find the best and most scenic trails within 90 minutes of Johannesburg, and with my personal recommendations on which ones to do depending on what you're looking for.

Whether it's scaling huge waterfalls, diving into deep natural pools, climbing through gorges, or just going for a nice stroll, I've got you covered.

I made this guide because there was no central guide to the best hikes in my city. After trying many trails, hikes, farms and reserves, I've narrowed it down to these great outdoor adventures that I know won't disappoint.

You'll find details on how to get to the locations, permits (if needed), how much they cost, what gear you'll need, the length of the trail(s), and personal recommendations from my experience.

Adventure awaits, enjoy!
