Hiking in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Johannesburg doesn’t have its own mountain rising up out of the city like Cape Town, but it's got the magnificent Magaliesburg just an hour away, which is a place that offers abundant hiking opportunities over its 120-kilometer length.

The mountain range separates two of Africa’s most important biomes- the highveld grasslands in the South from the bushveld savannah of the North. The meeting of these two biomes results in an astounding array of plant species like flowers, ferns, fungi, and grasses which create a rich habitat for birds and other animals. This makes the Magaliesberg a nature-lovers happy place and the observant hiker will be rewarded in many ways. Swims in deep mountain pools, stunning panoramic views, and the absence of hordes of people are some of the highlights of Magaliesberg trails.

While self-guided hiking is possible, guided hiking is always encouraged for those who are not familiar with the area.
