About this tour
The Bothongo Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve school tour, set in the Cradle of Humankind just outside Johannesburg in Gauteng, is a CAPS-aligned Life Sciences and Geography excursion for Grade 1–12 learners. It is one of the best big-cat and game-viewing days within easy reach of the city.
Guided game drives take learners past lions, rhinos, zebra, antelope and a wide range of plains game, with educators connecting the experience to ecosystems, food chains, biodiversity and conservation. The Cradle of Humankind setting also adds a layer of geological and heritage context to the day.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, reserve entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested Life Sciences school tours in Gauteng.
