Our take
The Magaliesberg's most accessible real trail, and the best escape from the city that isn't a game drive.

- Time Needed
- 3-6 hours
- Best For
- Gauteng day-trippers; beginners wanting a real trail.
- Go If
- You're in Gauteng with a free day and no time to get to the Berg or the Cape.
Why it's worth your time
The most popular hiking trail within easy reach of Gauteng. Loops of different lengths, a river to cross, a suspension bridge, and reasonable shade. The day-hike default for Joburg and Pretoria.
What we love
The cable bridge across the river.
What to know
Can be busy on weekends; go early. Two main loops; the longer is the better one. Entry fee, booked ahead in season.
