Me on the Top of the Magaliesberg Mountains
The Hartbeespoort Dam, surrounded by the majesty of the Magaliesberg mountain range, is a popular destination for weekend getaways or day trips. All water sports may be enjoyed including para-sailing, windsurfing, water and jet skiing.

Interesting info on the Bojanala Region

Well The Hartbeespoort Dam falls part of the Bojanala Region. This region is covered in natural bushveld vegetation. With the added attraction of the Magaliesberg, this region has much to offer to the eco-tourist. It is a natural game area with a number of fine game parks.

Here rests the Cradle of Humankind , The area abounds with relics from the Stone Age and early middle and late Iron Age. There are a large number of arts, crafts and curio outlets, especially in the Hartbeespoort Dam.

Sun City , The Pilanesberg Game Reserve also falls part of this region.

In A Nutshell:"Its a nice outing for a day."
