Kloofing

Kloofing, also known as cannoning, is available in the Magaliesberg. This adrenaline driven activity includes a hectic hike up a river valley to reach a cliff. When you’ve reached your destination, you’ll enjoy a great view of a magnificent stream flowing into the ravine. Then you experience a major adrenalin rush as you abseil down the waterfall. It’s a full, fun day activity but you need to know how to swim. Contact 082 731 4696

Bungee jumping at the Soweto Towers

The cooling towers in Soweto were originally built for Orlando Power Station, the most sophisticated facility in the Southern Hemisphere in its time. Now they are the surface of South Africa’s largest mural and site of the world’s first power swing between two cooling towers. Be prepared to be thrilled as you experience a 40m free fall between the two towers. There are qualified jump masters on hand and safety is a priority. Booking is essential. Contact 071 674 4343

Microlight adventure flights

This activity has become popular due to the portability of a light aircraft. But, it is the views of the Magaliesberg that make it spectacular. You can glide down low to spot wild game such as rhino, buffalo, giraffe, eland, zebra and wildebeest. On longer flights, you can explore the Cradle of Humankind or take in the views of the Hartebeespoort Dam. Those who are really brave can take the controls of the aircraft and try their hand at piloting.
