Gauteng clickable map:
A ninety-minute drive north-west of Johannesburg brings you to
the Magaliesberg mountains – an area of great scenic beauty
with superb rock formations, plunging waterfalls, meandering streams
and masses of unique indigenous vegetation. Gauteng has several
spectacular botanical gardens, bird sanctuaries and nature reserves
and a veritable treasure trove of archaeological, palaeontological
and geological sites.
See wildlife close up at the Lion and Rhino Park
just outside of Johannesburg or visit the De Wildt Cheetah Research
Station on the way to the scenic Hartbeespoort Dam. Or get physical
– go hang-gliding, skydiving or ballooning in Gauteng’s
crystal-clear blue skies, or try horse-riding, sand boarding down
a mine dump, rappelling off a building or fly-fishing for an indigenous
yellow fish or a less challenging trout. Or go hiking – a
gentle stroll or a mountain climb – there’s something
for everyone.
