Soar across the Magaliesberg on seven ziplines and pair the thrill with a guided tour of the Cradle of Humankind caverns. This private half-day combines harnessed flight, sweeping ridge views and underground geology.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You launch from a timber platform and the valley answers: the Magaliesberg ridge slips away beneath you, wind and treetop noise filling the space between platforms. The course runs across ten platforms, from low perches at 2 m to airy platforms at 20 m, seven slides totaling 1.3 km with a longest run of about 240 m — enough altitude to give a clear view of the folded, rust-colored contours of one of the planet’s oldest rock formations.
