Not known for being an especially green city, this oasis in the
west side of Johannesburg covers 741 acres (300ha), offering lush
gardens and scenic hiking trails. The gardens are a terrific place
for bird watching (over 200 species) and garden-enthusiasts
interested in seeing a variety of flora and fauna (over 600

picnic on the lawns at the foot of the breathtaking Witpoortjie
waterfall.
