Hartbeespoort, Northwest


Brief introduction.
H

Hartbeespoort (Photo: Struik) artbeespoort is situated on the southern slopes of the Magaliesberg Mountain overlooking the Harbeespoort Dam and beyond towards Pelindaba. The dam is fed by the Crocodile River. The Magaliesberg Cableway gives you access to the highest peaks with a breath taking view of the area. Hartbeespoort is not far from either Pretoria or Johannesburg. Tan' Malie Se Winkel (Aunt Malie's Shop) is quite unique and serves traditional Afrikaans home-cooked meals.

The area also has a Snake and Animal Park, an Aquarium with fresh and marine animals and plenty of arts and crafts shops all over.
