Area Info

The Dinokeng Game Reserve is a wildlife sanctuary located 30 km from Cullinan in Gauteng, accessible via the N1 route. It is approximately a 40-minute drive from Pretoria and about 75 minutes from O. R. Tambo International Airport and Johannesburg. The reserve is home to the Big Five game animals and is open to visitors for exploration. Spanning roughly 21,000 hectares, Dinokeng gets its name from the Tswana and Bapedi languages, meaning “a place of rivers.”

Several adventure tourism companies operate in South Africa’s metropolitan areas, playing a significant role in the country’s urban tourism sector. Dinokeng is a popular destination in Gauteng, offering natural, historical, and cultural attractions for tourists. Four well-known hubs within the region include Dinokeng Central, A Birder's Paradise, the Roodeplaat Dam, and the Dinokeng Game Reserve itself. Activities in the reserve include boat cruises, self-drive tours, guided game drives, cultural experiences, fishing, spa treatments, hot air balloon rides, and dining at on-site restaurants.

Visitors using the self-driving routes within the reserve can stop at three designated picnic sites. These sites are established and maintained by private landowners and are generally free to use, though landowners may request that guests vacate the premises if needed. To enhance the wilderness experience, most picnic spots are unfenced.
