Wildlife Flourishes at Cradle Moon Conservancy Near Johannesburg
Just a short drive from Johannesburg, the Cradle Moon Conservancy in Muldersdrift is bursting with life. On a sunny day in October 2024, visitors were treated to the sight of zebras grazing peacefully by the dam’s edge, a testament to the thriving ecosystem within the conservancy.
Spread across 1,600 hectares, this sanctuary combines several farms, lodges, and resorts, creating vast open spaces where nature takes the lead. Here, you can spot an array of animals roaming freely—rhinos, elands, kudus, wildebeests, impalas, duikers, and the iconic springbok, South Africa’s national animal.
But it’s not just about observing wildlife. The conservancy offers exciting activities like paddling and canoeing on the dam. Adventurous souls can stroll along the walkway crossing the water, soaking in panoramic views that are nothing short of breathtaking.
Reaching Cradle Moon is easy for both locals and visitors—it’s just a 15-minute drive from Lanseria International Airport. It’s an ideal destination for those wanting to experience South Africa’s wildlife and natural beauty firsthand.
