Hotels in West Rand, South Africa
West Rand lies just west of Johannesburg, South Africa, with hot summers reaching 90°F (32°C) and mild, dry winters around 70°F (21°C). This region is famous for the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO site where you can tour the Sterkfontein Caves and see 3-million-year-old hominid fossils, plus its gold-mining history at the Krugersdorp Game Reserve. In winter, hike the Magaliesberg Mountains for clear views, while summer's heat is perfect for cooling off with watersports on the Hartbeespoort Dam, just north of the region.
