After you rent a car Johannesburg at the O R Tambo airport, check the weather forecast for Johannesburg and head out to the Magaliesberg/crocodile ramble route.

Only 30 minutes away from Johannesburg in your hired car, you can enjoy a nature ramble or stay at some of the wonderful venues this area has to offer. Toadbury Hall stands on a 23 hectare estate, has sweeping lawns that stretches from the beautiful thatched house down to the dams teeming with trout and the banks of the Crocodile River. Fishing spots along the river are excellent and the trees along the banks turn a lovely shade of silver in the winter months. Families can take a walk along the Crocodile Ramble or just picnic along the banks. The graceful country house offers personal service and sumptuous dining, with candle lit romantic dinners. Take time after a long ramble, soak in an old brass ball, and claw bath.

Out of Africa
The otherworldly atmosphere of this tranquil enclave will astound you and you may need a little time to adjust to this wonderful arty venue. Each of the individually thatched fantasy cottages come decorated with an eclectic mix of antiques and objects from an older age. Walk hand in hand along the mossy river or explore the Magaliesberg Meander. The evenings herald a surprise in the form of a dinner picnic basket, left at your doorstep, to enjoy in front of your very own fireplace."
