Rustenburg in a nutshell



Rustenburg, a large bushveld town and popular holiday venue, lies at the northern foot of the Magaliesberg range, 1 160m above sea-level.

The climate is very pleasant all year round with cool nights and moderate to hot days. It is ideally situated for visiting the contrasting tourist attractions - the fantasy world of the Lost City, the glamour and glitter of Sun City and the natural beauty of the Pilansberg Nature reserve which lies in a volcanic crater, close to Sun City.

In front of the town hall is a fascinating signpost erected by the Rotary Club, giving the distances between Rustenburg and many international cities such as Berlin, New York, Sidney, Timbuktu, etc.

Boekenhoutfontein is a cultural-history place of interest where President Paul Kruger farmed for more than 40 years. The Rustenburg Kloof Holiday resort and Ananda Hotel are on the west side of the town. The Rustenburg Nature Reserve is situated on the summit and against the northern slopes of the Magaliesberg range. The Peglerae Nature Trail of 4,7km takes about 2 hours to walk. More difficult is the Two Day Rustenburg Hiking Trail with two overnight huts with basic amenities.
