How much is Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve?
The official buy-ticket page lists self-drive adults at R360 (conservation included), kids 5–12 at R220 and pensioners at R280. Guided Savannah Trails are R500 adults, R420 for ages 12–17 and pensioners, minimum four people. Confirm the live table on rhinolion.co.za/buy-ticket.
Can you hike at Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve?
Yes, as a booked guided walk. The official Savannah Trails page is a 120-minute educational trail with some hills, in the care of a guide. It is not a free walk-in municipal path. Enquire at bookings@rhinolion.co.za.
Is Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve the same as Cradle Moon?
No. Bothongo is at 520 Kromdraai Road, Krugersdorp (rhinolion.co.za). Cradle Moon is a separate private lodge on Beyers Naudé Drive, Muldersdrift. Different gate, different ticket.
