A lovely park to walk in. Fairly well maintained under the circumstances prevailing in the city of Johannesburg. Thank goodness for the people who care about preserving The Wilds. If you have never been there or have last visited the park a number of years ago, it is worth a visit. We felt safe although we only walked the western part of The Wilds, because the eastern part is apparently not that safe to walk alone or as a pair. It is recommended that one only walks the eastern section in a group.

Beautiful gem in the middle of the city! Guards were friendly and helpful. Paths were reasonably marked out with a good map at the beginning. We explored the west side which is small and can be done in an hour comfortably. Most of it is under a tree canopy so a good walk on a warm day. Lovely lawns and benches along the way, should you to picnic. All in all a fun way to spend a morning :)

Extremely relaxing! Beware though there's a lot of up hill! It's so peaceful. Some ponds are sort of dry but there are a few with water. The view is absolutely amazing and they have very beautiful plants and trees in this reserve unlike some places!

Really great and beautiful views of Johannesburg. Feels like you far away but only 2km from city centre. Really worth a walk through this park. Beautiful

It's quite picturesque, serene and clean. What a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for somewhere to unwind and be one with nature, this is the perfect place for you. The best part is that it's totally free of charge!
