Heritage Hike - Linksfield Ridge and Harvey Nature Reserve

ABOUT

Joburg’s ridges are its defining feature and the Linksfield Ridge is one of our most magnificent. This heritage hike takes us along the iconic Linksfield Ridge through the Harvey Nature Reserve, with spectacular views across Kensington and Orange Grove.

It’s a memorable walk that features a wealth of bird and plant life, quirky historical stories, a geological heritage that goes back 3 billion years, and some of the best selfie opportunities in Joburg! You’ll also get the latest updates on our efforts to reclaim the ridge, in partnership with Johannesburg City Parks.

Please note: this is a strenuous hike with several steep inclines and declines. It is only recommended for those who are moderately fit. The total walking distance is about 5 kms.

Please bring hats, sunscreen, lots of water, snacks, and good hiking shoes or boots. As much as we love them, please don’t bring your dogs as this is a nature reserve.
