Two Hours From Johannesburg
After spending a crazy two days in Johannesburg, some downtime in the bush felt like it was much-deserved. Fortunately, the Magaliesberg mountains are a 90-minute drive from the city and offer the restorative advantages of a safari destination with all of the convenience of a weekend escape.
The Magaliesberg stretches from the Pilanesberg in South Africa’s North West province to Johannesburg and Pretoria in Gauteng. The mountain range was formed out of an ancient shoreline that dates back about 2,000 million years—and has an incredible diversity to show for this. There are game reserves, spas, geological sites, and adventure activities that will ensure you’re able to plan a city escape that will have you feeling completely recharged whatever your definition of relaxation.
