South Africa's Johannesburg and Environs
The Magaliesberg
A short distance from the hustle and bustle of busy Johannesburg lies the picturesque escape of Magaliesberg. Here within amidst touching landscapes and breathtaking panoramas, visitors are returned to their roots as well as exposed to a world unlike any other.
Revisit your prehistoric ancestors deep within the Sterkfontein Caves as seen in the Cradle of Humanity, where archeologists discovered the first adult skull of the Southern African ape-man, and have continued to reveal spectacular finds of early human like fossils. For a more adventurous trek into history, climb the ancient Pilanesberg Mountains, surpassing Mount Everest in age by more than one hundred times.
From a sun rise balloon ride to watch the African rays emerge over the majestic Magaliesberg hills to an intriguing trek through the Maanhaarrand, known for its prehistoric rock engravings, and a magical sunset drive home, Magaliesberg offers a colorful mosaic of beguiling natural canvasses.
