The Magaliesberg Canopy Tour® takes you on a journey through the ecology and geology of one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world – estimated to be 2,500 million years old.
The Magaliesberg Canopy Tour is located in the Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve – 1 ½ hours from Joburg and 1 hour from Pretoria.
Eleven platforms have been built against the cliff and rock faces of the spectacular Ysterhout Kloof, a beautiful gorge carved out of the mountainside, and are joined by long steel cables that you slide along to reach the next platform. Much like a “foefie” slide, the canopy tour essentially involves zigzagging down the kloof while stopping at each platform to admire the expansive views and surrounding ecology.
The Magaliesberg 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. Two trained canopy guides assure the safety of each participant while describing interesting facts about the indigenous plants, bird life, ecology and geology of the area.

Rating: {5/5} Stars (Best Tour Experience So Far!) I cannot recommend this Canopy Tour highly enough---it was, without a doubt, the best experience of all the tours I've done to date. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was amazing and incredibly friendly. Beyond their welcoming nature, they were very knowledgeable about the environment and the equipment, which instilled complete confidence.

This tour provides thrilling adventure with unparalleled professionalism. An absolutely must-do experience!
