About

The eastern section of Melville Koppies Nature Reserve is a ten-hectare ridge of rocky outcrops, aloes and indigenous grassland above Melville, and it is the only part of the reserve where dogs are welcome. Open daily as public open space, it rewards walkers with wide views across Johannesburg from the Louw Geldenhuys viewsite. Volunteers from Friends of Melville Koppies have rehabilitated the area; they ask that dogs be socialised and that owners pick up after them, and suggest walking in groups rather than alone.
