The Wilds Nature Reserve
![Public Forest/Natural Area: Natural Reserve, National Parks, Regional Parks, other parks and public forests, even private land that has been set aside for conservation.

Overview
This 16ha nature reserve on the outskirts of Houghton is set against lovely koppies with well-developed indigenous gardens. Paths ramble across the hillsides with views of the city from various sides, mixing urban life with local vegetation. There are several ponds and waterfalls. This is one of Joburg's best kept secrets, great for school outings or a family day trip.
