Muldersdrift, in the Gauteng Province of South Africa, is a picturesque rural area situated 27 km north-west of Johannesburg, between Johannesburg and the Magaliesberg mountain range.[2][3] The area falls under the West Rand District Municipality, and is part of the Mogale City Local Municipality.

Located in the Kromdraai Valley and on the Crocodile River, Muldersdrift forms part of the Crocodile Ramble,[4] a scenic tourist route generally regarded as the most popular of all the craft routes around South Africa.[5] Muldersdrift is the gateway to the West Rand, and forms part of Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.[6]
