Best views

The hilly terrain in our surrounding area makes for some of the most spectacular views of the skyline in Johannesburg.

Tick these locations off your checklist:

Albert’s Farm. An unassuming turn at Northcliff Corner leads to this undeveloped park. Listed as one of the top walking trails by Johannesburg City Parks, the Montgomery Spruit runs through the Albert’s Farm grassland and empties into the Braamfontein Spruit.

Delta Park. Also listed as one of the best walking trails in the city, Delta Park is ideal for a walk with the family and will be loads of run for a dog wanting lots of space to run around. This spot is also popular for watching birds in the thick canopy of trees above.

Kingston Frost Park. Look out over Auckland Park to Northcliff and further from this Brixton park. The gentle ridge makes for exhilarating walks with lots of different aloes to see along the way.

Northcliff Eco-Ridge. This breath taking location offers views of the World Cup Soccer City Stadium at one side and sprawling Randburg at the other. The ridge is home to the Northcliff water tower, itself one of the landmark locations of the Johannesburg skyline.
