Best Places To See Animals
- About an hour’s drive outside Johannesburg, the Rietvlei Nature Preserve is a paradise of hoofed mammals. Rhinos, antelope, zebras and more roam freely about the expansive grounds, while birds such as ostriches and black korhaans can also be seen.
- The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre is a delightful education and conservation center for a number of animals ranging from cheetahs to African wild dogs to vultures. Cheetahs, of course, are the main draw, and visitors can see the elegant cats being fed and exercised, which includes running at top speed -- a mere blur to the human eye.
