Lonehill Koppie is a striking natural gem, a solitary hill rising amidst the suburban landscape, approximately 28 kilometers to the north of the city center. It serves as a vivid reminder of Johannesburg’s pre-settlement appearance – a landscape characterized by rocky terrain, meandering streams, scattered shrubs, small trees, and knee-high grasses. In earlier times, guinea fowl and porcupines freely roamed this area, but today, it’s home to numerous dassies. Not far from the Koppie, about 200 meters to the north, you’ll find Lonehill Loch, a serene small dam. This space is a cherished destination for local residents, drawing them in for leisurely walks and moments of tranquility.
