Experience a one-of-a-kind safari adventure from the back of a horse, where you can get up close and personal with various antelope and see the South African bush from a whole new perspective. Next up, take a ride on a cable car for breathtaking views of the Magaliesberg mountains and the Hartebeestpoortdam.

What makes this tour truly unique is the combination of these two exhilarating activities. You'll get to explore the wilderness on horseback, giving you a chance to see the animals in their natural habitat, followed by a cable car ride that will offer a bird's-eye view of the stunning landscapes of South Africa.

When preparing for this adventure, be sure to dress comfortably in bushveld ready clothes such as long pants and closed shoes, and leave your shorts, skirts, and dresses at home. Additionally, don't forget to pack sunblock, a backpack, and a rain jacket in case of any unexpected weather changes.

  • Incredible Experience with a Great Guide!

    I had an amazing time on both the horseback riding safari and the cable car ride! The whole experience was perfectly organised by Jason. He made sure everything ran smoothly. He shared quite some interesting facts about the area and a few lighthearted jokes along the way as well. He is good company to be in. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend his tours! If I had more time during my visit, I definitely would have booked another one.

    What a rare lifetime opportunity to be able to horseback ride amongst Southern Africas non predatory animals. It was surreal pulling into a field of giraffes and impalas without the animals scampering away. The staff of the facility could not have been nicer. The cable car experience was also delightful with terrific photo opportunities.
