Rustenburg and surrounds
Runstenburg and its environs
112km northwest of Jo’burg, Rustenburg lies at the foot of the Magaliesberg Mountains which are a much loved weekend playground for both nature and adventure freaks. The nearby Sun City and malaria-free Pilanesberg Game Reserve are both worth a visit - and you are likely to spot black and white rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo and giraffe and a variety of buck at both. Some have fake fur, some have no fur, some breathe, some don’t, but they’re all interesting.
