"Cooling Off In A Summer Highveld Thunderstorm Hot Summers in Johannesburg are held at bay by cool, late afternoon thunder showers. The build up of clouds throughout the afternoon, catch amazing colours as the sun goes down and eventually culminate in a lightshow of epic proportions as lightning flickers through the heavens. The afternoon that I captured the photo, I'd headed out to Suikerbosrand which is about 40 minutes from the old Johannesburg CBD. It's a great place away from all the traffic and big buildings of the city. Once we arrived it was only a short while before the clouds lit up and we were met fortunate to witness a scene reminiscent of a beautiful artwork"

A great hiking/biking trail with some of the best views. It is a well maintained nature reserve that offers unforgettable memories. The trails are properly marked and the place is very clean. They open very early, weekday visiting hours are 7:00 to 16:00 and 18:00 on weekends. 3 trails 1. Bokmakierie trail which has 3 options 10km and 11,5km & 2. Cheater trail, which is 4,5km 3. 17km

We enjoyed a 11.5km hike which took us 3:30mins. The reserve opens a 7am with a Card only system.No cash is accepted. The pathways are marked out but they can cut some of the bush , although there is alot of clear views. We didnt see any animals along the path but did see some animal dung. The toilets were clean and the place is well kept. The museum is a nice walk for those who want to reminisce.

We enjoyed the challenge Did the 10km hike Wasn't the easiest hike, gives you a sense of achievement. Paths well marked mostly clean Needs a little maintenance in sections. Don't underestimate the downhills ...

Enjoyed my visit today at Suikerbosrand nature reserve.Did the 11.5km hike and the views were spectacular and amazing.Vehicles are parked at a lovely picnic area.Safe and secure environment for all and the trails were marked out,so was able to navigate pretty easily.A wonderful experience.Be sure to carry enough rehydration fluids and snacks as it can get pretty hot up in the mountains and have to keep yourself well hydrated.Invest in comfortable hiking boots,as your feet will thank you.Overall an amazing experience.

Provincial government is not fulfilling their mandate: - Day trails are badly eroded. - Overnight trails are closed. - Eland overnight hut fire damaged. - Holhoek picnic site is closed. - Ouhout Group Camp is closed. - Tourist Route road tar is not maintained, roadside grass not cut creating dangerous bends especially for cyclists. - Paved paths are overgrown and not maintained. - Water feature not working. - Medicinal garden overgrown, signage missing. - Educational dioramas in main building closed and damaged by water leaks. - fence in terrible condition, game regularly gets out and causes accidents. - Western gate burnt down (were firebreaks in place?) - Protea Hotel and pool closed. - Kareekloof resort and pools closed. - firebreaks never completed on time resulting in unplanned fires. NEVERTHELESS the scenery is still magnificent and there are still some animals to be seen. Renovation of Kiepersol Chalets and toilets in parking area said to be almost complete.

This place is very rich in history from the facilities and access I had. Unfortunately, when I was there the farm houses that you can tour were closed. We weren't able to walk through and see them. Other than that the hike was good. Make sure you bring a hat, sunglasses and lots of water as there is very little to almost no shade during the hike.

We did the 10,4km hike! It was challenging, but worth the challenge! Mind over matter ❤️
