The Wilds Nature Reserve

Why families love it

Set across two rocky ridges (koppies) between Houghton and Parktown, this evergreen sanctuary features 8 kilometres of stone footpaths winding past waterfalls, fountains, aloe gardens, and quiet ponds. Reinvigorated through community efforts, it features hundreds of striking, colourful metal animal and bird sculptures scattered throughout the foliage. The park offers magnificent panoramic views of the Johannesburg skyline and serves as a highly popular destination for peaceful walks, leashed dog walking, photography, and family picnics.
