    Well , if you a golf lover there is the world famous Peakan Wood golf coarse on the dam.

    There is also a cable car section that takes you ontop of the Magalies Mountain giving you a breath taking view of the Dam.

    There is a Snake Park for the whole family with a variety of animals. While you there you can go on a Ferry boat ride on the Dam.

    Opposite the Snake park is all your restaurants and sovenior shops. Further up the road is the dam wall where you allowed to stop and walk on the dam wall. The view is absolutely beautiful here.

    The Haartebeesfontein Dam is about a hour`s drive from JNB and I must say its worth it.

    This is my personal getaway on a Sunday. There is a whole lot to do there but what I like the most is the relaxing atmosphere. You have the Dam with the huge Magalies Mountains and everyhting is so calm and peaceful , it beats the city life.

    Another thing that I like is that the drive from JNB going to the dam via Lanseria airport is quiet nice giving that real African look.

    This is a must for families traveling to JNB.

    Well when making a trip to the Hartbeespoort Dam you must definitely make a stop at the Lasedi Cultural Village to get a glimps of the Various Tribes and different cultures.

    The Lesedi Cultural Village offers an insight to the traditional way of life of the Ndebele, Sotho, Zulu, Pedi and Xhosa peoples. Various dances are being performed, African food is served and accommodation in traditional huts equipped with bathrooms.

    It cost R190 pp or R285 pp if you going to stay for lunch and there is 2 shows which starts at 11h00 and 14h30.

    Be sure to checkout my Travelogue to see more about my trip there.

  • I visited this area so long ago, that I do not remember much detail. You will need to check the website or a VT entry from another VT member. I just remember it was one of the nicest days I have ever had.
