Horseback Safari and Cable Car Tour from Johannesburg

Experience a unique and tranquil way to explore South Africa’s wildlife and natural beauty on a horseback safari through the scenic Magaliesberg Mountains. Unlike traditional game drives, this tour offers an up-close encounter with nature from the back of a horse, allowing for a peaceful and immersive experience. Ride through beautiful bushveld terrain as your guide leads you along quiet trails in search of giraffe, blesbuck, sable, impala, nyala, and even ostrich. Without the noise of a vehicle, you’ll connect more deeply with the surroundings, hearing only the rhythmic sound of your horse’s hooves and the natural ambiance of the reserve. It’s a refreshing alternative to standard safaris, perfect for those seeking a more relaxed and intimate way to view wildlife.

After the horseback safari, your adventure continues with a scenic cable car ride up the Magaliesberg Mountains. This ride offers breathtaking views of the Hartebeespoort Dam, built in 1923, and its 50 km shoreline. As the longest monorail cableway in Africa, it provides an unforgettable panorama of the surrounding valleys, mountains, and bushveld. Whether you're a first-time rider or a returning visitor, this experience blends gentle adventure with natural wonder. Be sure to dress appropriately—long pants and closed shoes are best—and don’t forget to pack sunblock, a rain jacket, and a small backpack to stay comfortable throughout the day. This tour is a perfect combination of nature, relaxation, and stunning views.
