Your guide leads a very leisurely ride on a trail through the nature reserve, with no sound of vehicles, only your horse's hooves. Then ride the cable car, the longest monorail cableway in Africa, for views of the Magaliesberg mountains and the Hartebeestpoortdam, built in 1923 with a shoreline of about 50 km and one of the most famous attractions for visitors to Johannesburg.
