For outdoor adventurers, the rugged Magaliesberg Mountains offer epic ziplining, rock climbing, hiking, and canopy tours with sweeping views of kloofs and bushveld. The Crocodile River and Vaal River are hotspots for white-water rafting and tubing, and if you're after an aerial perspective, microlight flights, hot-air balloon rides, and tandem skydives let you take it all in from above.
Closer to the city, Gauteng’s parks and nature reserves provide the perfect escape for mountain biking, trail running, abseiling, and quad biking—making it easy to find nature-based adventure just a stone’s throw from the urban buzz.
