No Childrens bikes are to ridden in the restcamp Please as this disturbes
the other guest who are trying to relax.
The Magaliesberg has a wide variety of
dirt roads, ranging from easy terrain (such as the Barnardsvlei Road) to the physically demanding Breed's Neck
Mountain Pass, which rises from an altitude 1360m in the north to 1670m at the crest before dropping down to
1440m when it joins the R24 in the south. From the crest of the pass it loses 120m in the first 1.1 Km - that's
a stiff return ride! The Barnard's road, on the other hand, has a low-point of 1200m and a maximum altitude of
1330m - a total elevation difference of 100m over a distance 11.5 Km - an easy ride in anyone's
language.
- Relaxing
Mountain Sanctuary Park is one of the quietest, most peaceful places in South
Africa. this is the perfect place to enjoy nature at its best and escape the hustle and bustle of every day
life.
- Nature
walks
Mountain Sanctuary Park boasts a wide variety of animals, birds and creatures -
all indigenous to the Magaliesberg. Ask for a spotting list at the office, then take a walk and see what you
can spot.
- Swimming
Not only is there a beautiful swimming pool near the campsite (but far away
enough for people to play without disturbing campers in their siesta), but there are also several natural
rock-pools scattered around the park in which you can enjoy a refreshing swim.
- Walking
trails
We have hiking trails that vary form 15 minutes walk to 8 hours, depending on how
far you want to go, crystal clear mountain pools can be seen on all the trails. you are not
restricted by guiding hikes, a map is explained to you on arrival, so take your time, enjoy and experience the
mountains in their untouched state. The reserve does NOT have marked hiking routes due to the sensitive nature
of the terain, so DO NOT expect painted footprints or well marked
trails.

- Rock
climbing
For those with a head for heights we have a number of climbs on our property
(Bring your own kit). Nothing is bolted, so you need to be a trad climber to climb here. If you'd like to try
your hand and have never done this, feel free to look at )ur links page for a reputable
climbing guide.
- Abseiling
While we don't offer abseiling as a guided activity (it takes proper training and
qualifications to do this), there are a number of abseil sites on the property. You'll need to bring your
own gear, or you can look for a guide on our links page.
