Ekukhuleni Game Farm And Cottages

Ekukhuleni Game Farm And Cottages is situated in the foothills of the Magaliesburg mountains, on the Magalies Meander near Hekpoort. It offers a peaceful game farm environment with scenic walking trails, excellent birding opportunities, and grand mountain views. This location is only an hour away from Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Rustenburg, making it ideal for a tranquil getaway.

The farm features four secluded, fully equipped one- and two-bedroom self-catering cottages set in a tranquil natural bush setting. Each cottage has a covered verandah with a built-in barbecue, a well-equipped kitchen with necessary crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans, as well as a gas stove and microwave oven. Linen and bath towels are provided, but guests should bring their own swimming towels. A swimming pool is situated in the picturesque garden.

The farm hosts various wildlife species, including kudu, small Spotted genets, Black-backed jackal, duiker, bush-babies, porcupines, mongoose, nyala, impala, blesbuck, zebra, kudu, and Black gnu. It is also located in close proximity to the Cradle of Humankind, where visitors can explore the Sterkfontein Caves and Maropeng, a world-class underground attraction that takes you on a journey through the history of humankind.

Other interesting sites and activities in the area include balloon safaris, game drives with the Big 5, an Elephant Experience at a nearby game lodge, fly-fishing at an eco-friendly venue, and several restaurants and spas. Guests can also relax next to the pool or picnic in the shade of the riverine forest where the Doornspruit meanders through Ekukhuleni. Birders can enjoy ticking and adding to the 155 species already identified on the farm.
