The ledges have always been a good nesting place for vultures, who seem be under the impression that the local hang-gliders are simply larger birds. The vultures have been known to take off and fly alongside them in perfect synchronization.

The village of Magaliesburg is in the southern hills of the Magaliesberg Mountains. Both the village and the mountain are named after the chief of the Po people, Magali, who lived in this part of the world when the Voortrekkers arrived. The main crops are tobacco and citrus and tropical fruits grown in the valleys between the foothills. 

Take a leisurely drive westward from the bustle of Johannesburg or Pretoria and within an hour you will discover a place that will enchant you. The Magaliesburg. 

Magaliesburg Village

This small village lies at the heart of the beautiful region of Magaliesburg Mountains surrounded by valleys, rivers and indigenous woodland - home to a variety of birds.

But it is not all natural bushveld. Here you will also find a wealth of hospitality - country guest houses, hotels, lodges, stores, art and craft studios, working farms, horse and mountain bike trails and much more...
