Trail overview

Harties River Hiking can form part of a private, hosted Magaliesberg itinerary. Exact route, distance and timing are confirmed only after reviewing the group, season, weather and current trail information.

Who this hike is for

We match the route to walking fitness, mountain experience, comfort with exposure or scrambling, and the needs of the whole group. No trail is marketed as suitable for everyone.

Route and terrain

Terrain, elevation, water availability and technical features vary by the route selected. Your pre-trip briefing will confirm the planned route and appropriate alternatives.

Highlights

  • Ancient quartzite ridges, river valleys and varied hiking close to Johannesburg.
  • Small-group pacing and local support
  • Opportunity to combine this trail with accommodation, transport and other South African experiences
