Countryside getaways

Between the substantial Big 5 Dinokeng Reserve in Tshwane near Pretoria, the pristine Highveld landscape of the UNESCO protected Cradle of Humankind and the rolling valleys of the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountains and the Magalies Meander, the Gauteng Province has plenty of quiet places to enjoy a relaxed countryside escape just an hour's drive from bustling Johannesburg.
