Magaliesburg Canopy Tour ®
The Magaliesburg Canopy Tour ® takes the whole canopy tour concept one step further as the platforms have all been individually designed and built within the cliffs and rock faces of the ancient Magaliesberg Mountains. This tour takes people on a journey through the ecology and geology of one of the oldest mountain ranges at the world - estimated to be 2,500 million years old. Eleven platforms have been built within a beautiful gorge carved out of the mountainside and the canopy tour slides take clients zig-zagging through this pristine environment over the river below. The Magaliesburg Mountains are home to a wide variety of plant, animal and birdlife – watch out for the shy klipspringer jumping from rock to rock below you or look up to spot an endangered black eagle circling above. Your local guides will explain a bit more about the fascinating surroundings while you relax at each platform before the next slide. Laughter is guaranteed!
