Top Nature in Johannesburg

If you're into photos, aim for golden hour; the light in the evening around 5 PM makes everything look stunning, especially by the lake.

I suggest bringing a packed lunch. The food stalls are overpriced and not that great, so it’s better to have your own snacks.

My advice is to go early, around 8 AM. It’s quieter, and you can enjoy the fresh air without too many people. Plus, the lake looks stunning in the morning light.

I learned the hard way that some areas don't have great cell service, so download directions or info before you go. You'll want to be able to find your way without stress!

I recommend checking out the small local market if it’s on, especially on Sundays. You’ll find unique crafts and yummy food, which makes for a nice way to spend some time

Check the weather before you go. It can change quickly and having an umbrella or a light jacket can save you from a soggy experience. I learned that the hard way!

I suggest bringing a picnic! The park is so beautiful and it’s a great way to relax after a hike. There are some nice spots to chill, plus it’ll save you some money on food.
