Discover Lanseria

Lanseria can be combined with a special nature and wildlife experience in the surrounding area: at Lion & Safari Park, you can take guided tours or drive your own vehicle through a 1,200-hectare reserve. This puts two different ways of experiencing the landscape at the heart of your visit—a guided tour or a drive in your own car.

Safari experiences near Lanseria

Activities at Lion & Safari Park also include game drives. Visitors can feed giraffes there; the park also lists ostriches and antelopes as animals that can be fed. If these activities are important to your plans, check with the park in advance to confirm their current availability.

When choosing your accommodation, it makes a difference whether you mainly prefer a guided tour or want to drive through the reserve yourself. The tours and wildlife encounters provide concrete options for planning your day, without requiring you to put together a fixed itinerary in advance. The safari park is in the area surrounding Lanseria; its activities should therefore not be considered activities right next to your accommodation.

Culture and green spaces in City Of Johannesburg

If your trip also includes City Of Johannesburg, its cultural sites offer different historical perspectives. The Apartheid Museum illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. Its permanent exhibition traces South Africa’s history from oppression to a place of healing shaped by democratic principles. As a living museum, Constitution Hill tells the story of South Africa’s path to democracy and is also home to the country’s Constitutional Court.

The Origins Centre and Museum Africa offer a different thematic perspective. The Origins Centre’s interactive exhibitions explore the origins of humanity in Africa and the development of technology, art, culture and symbolism; South Africa’s diverse rock art traditions are also among its subjects. Museum Africa focuses on South Africa’s social, political and cultural development. Visitors interested in history can thus choose between different areas of focus rather than treating all the offerings as similar museum visits.

The open spaces in City Of Johannesburg also offer a different kind of visit. Johannesburg Botanical Garden covers 81 hectares and is used by, among others, runners, picnickers and dog owners. Canoeing and sailing are possible on the dam in the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens; facilities belonging to a diving club are located on the eastern shore. While the museums focus on historical and cultural subjects, the garden and dam offer a green setting and opportunities to enjoy the water.

Choose the right holiday rental for your trip

When looking for a holiday rental in Lanseria, first consider which experiences you want to focus on during your trip: tours and wildlife encounters in the surrounding area, or cultural sites and green spaces in City Of Johannesburg as well. If you plan to do both, check the specific accommodation locations and routes for your plans separately, rather than inferring a particular distance from the activities mentioned. For travel within City Of Johannesburg, Rea Vaya connects the city centre and Braamfontein with Soweto; routes and services may change, so it is advisable to check the latest information.
