Canopy Tours in Gauteng.
Most big South African cities have a mountain range nearby where nature enthusiasts can escape to for some well-earned peace and mountain sport. Johannesburg, capital of Gauteng province, has the Magaliesberg. It’s not as imposing as Durban’s Drakensberg or Cape Town’s Table Mountain and Cederberg but its modest structure hides a network of stunning forested ravines where perennial rivers, springing forth from the heart of the mountain, burble and drop over waterfalls as they make their way out of their rocky maze.
This has evolved into a wonderland for climbers and hikers and is the ideal environment for a canopy tour. Wooden platforms perch on the sides of cliffs like giant eagles’ nests and adrenalin seekers get to explore these inaccessible beauty spots by zigzagging down the kloofs on a zip-line. Flying over waterfalls and treetops, safely harnessed in, is an adventure activity that connects you to nature as much as it provides those exhilarating moments, we all seek.
