Mountain Sanctuary Park is a haven of unspoiled natural beauty, offering a tranquil refuge for outdoor enthusiasts to explore pristine landscapes and find solace amidst the rugged grandeur of the Magaliesberg Mountains.

Ezemvelo Nature Reserve offers 3 different hiking trails. You will hike through the different habitats of the reserve amongst the game grazing around you. You may get closer to the animals than you would be with your car. Hiking trails will take you where your car can’t go, on top of a koppi or along a nice stream.
