FAERYGLEN NATURE RESERVE

This is one of the nicest dogwalks in Gauteng. You walk along a pretty river valley and up to some steepish peaks. Remember to take a long lead with you though. And don't forget to take some money for some refreshments at the tea garden afterwards.

FOUNTAINS NATURE RESERVE

A once a month organised dogwalk by Run Walk for Wildlife. The 5km route changes every month and dogs on leads are welcome. R20pp, dogs free, 1st Saturday of the month, starts 8am

 

GARSKLOOF PARK

Tshwane Nature Conservation are trying to ease the pressure off the Moreletta Spruit area. So they are developing this park into a dedicated dogwalking park. Already it has doubled in size since I 1st walked there. It is a gentle ramble through some Highveld vegetation in a fenced off park.

SMUTS HOUSE (IRENE)

A very pleasant and safe 2-3 km walk to a special koppie where Gen JC Smuts meditated on life, the United Nations and everything. And don’t forget to visit his old residence, Smuts’ House.
