Farm Day Visits
Good News!!!! The Donkey Dairy has decided to open up our farm gates to visitors!! If you are looking for an authentic farm experience, then come on over!! We are a working farm and not a venue per se, so if you are down-to-earth and looking for a bit of fresh farm air and interaction with some amazing animals, then you have come to the right place.
Not only are we South Africa’s only Donkey Dairy, our farm is also home to some of the rarest farm animals in South Africa including dwarf goats, miniature pigs, dwarf rabbits, miniature cattle, miniature horses, silky chickens, Suri alpacas and not to forget the stars of our farm, miniature spotted donkeys.
Farm Activities
Entrance Fees:
R80 per Person

Hiking Trails:
Upon arriving, you will have full access to our family-friendly hikes on our section of the Magaliesburg mountain.
We currently have two hiking trails: “Long Ears Lookout”, which gives a spectacular view of the valley, and “Brayers Eye” trail, which takes you to our natural spring in the mountain. Here you can take some time out to relax in the forest by the spring.
So please remember to pack your hats, sunscreen, hiking shoes, water bottles and cameras as you will spot our mountain donkeys on your way.
Bottle feeding of our Goat Kids:
We offer bottle feeding of our baby dwarf goats at various times throughout the day at an additional cost of R80 per family on a first-come first-served basis. We only have limited bottles as we cannot overfeed our babies. Should you miss out on the bottle feeding, there will still be plenty of time to interact with the goaties in our play area.
