Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve sits on the R550 near Heidelberg, southeast of Johannesburg. It is a Gauteng provincial reserve, not a City of Johannesburg park. Visitor blogs and cycling write-ups describe a large day-and-overnight trail network and weekday/weekend gate windows, but we have not found a current official GDARD trail table or tariff we can publish. Phone listed across visitor sources: 011 439 6300. Call before you go. Do not treat copied R45/R50 figures as current. Pets are unconfirmed on an official page, so we leave dogs blank.
