The Krugersdorp Game Reserve lies south west of Johannesburg near the picturesque town of Krugersdorp. Here you will be able to view some of the 350 bird species, 15 different antelope species, White Rhino and with a little luck Lion, who are all residents of the park. Even if you don't see lion in the game reserve, you will most definately get the opportunity to get better acquainted with these beautiful cats at the Lion Park near Randburg.
