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.
Safety briefing
4×4 return trip
All equipment
Fully guided 1½ hour tour (5 slides, 6 platforms)
The Magaliesberg Canopy Tour® experience begins with a thorough safety briefing that covers all the do’s and don’ts of the tour. After the briefing, you will be kitted out with your sliding harness, safety helmet and sliding gloves. The guides check that harnesses are fitted properly and make final adjustments where necessary. To end the briefing, you are given an opportunity to ask questions.
You are now ready to mount the 4×4 vehicle that will transport you up the mountain, over a distance of approximately 2 kilometres, to the drop off zone near the first platform. Look out for the resident Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Duiker and many other indigenous animal, bird, reptile and insect species along the way – it makes the trip so much more exciting and interesting. Disembark, follow your guides on a short walk to the first platform and “let the fun begin”!
The Magaliesberg range is home to a wide variety of plant, bird and animal life. With some luck, you may spot a Duiker or a shy Klipspringer jumping from rock to rock. Look up and you are likely to spot our breading pair of Black Eagles circling above. Rock Rabbits (Dassies) are abundant and, depending on the time of day, they may be running around playfully or lazing in the sun on an exposed rock. Bring your cameras along as you will find yourself in natural surrounds that you have never or seldom before experienced.

Very pleasant outing. Staff were professional and friendly . Enjoyed every moment thanks. - Pieter
We had an incredible experience on the canopy zipline tour, which we did to celebrate my 15-year-old daughter's birthday. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. A special mention to David and Hijack, who went out of their way to make the day extra memorable by singing Happy Birthday to her --- such a thoughtful touch that truly meant a lot to us. The entire team was friendly, professional, and engaging, and interacting with the staff was easy and enjoyable throughout the experience. The zipline itself was thrilling and well run, and we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. We did pay quite a bit extra for the photographer, and while he captured a few nice moments, I was a bit disappointed with the overall quality of the photos. I was also under the impression that a video of our experience would be compiled and sent to us, but we only received photos taken on a cellphone (not edited), which did not quite meet our expectations. That said, this was still an unforgettable experience, and the warmth and professionalism of the staff made it truly special. I would absolutely recommend the canopy zipline tour to anyone looking for a fun, exciting, and memorable adventure. - Christina
