About Magaliesburg

Magaliesburg is strategically located along the R24 route in Gauteng’s western corridor, positioned between Johannesburg and the platinum mining regions of the North West Province. This charming town lies at the foot of the majestic Magaliesberg range, whose weathered quartzite cliffs form a dramatic natural amphitheatre around the valley.

Magaliesburg was historically significant as a Boer War battleground. The town now serves as a vital conservation area within the UNESCO-recognised Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve.

Numerous nature reserves and private game farms border the town, creating an extensive network of protected wilderness just 90 minutes from Johannesburg’s urban centre. This accessibility, combined with the area’s breathtaking scenery, has made Magaliesburg one of Gauteng’s most sought-after weekend retreat destinations.
