Magaliesberg Accommodation
A tan in winter? That’s a give-away sign of an outdoor person who hasn’t let winter take the upper hand and keep them indoors. Of course there are always going to be the odd winter days that would test the endurance of an iron man/woman, but most winter days in the Magaliesberg are mild, sunny and ideal for being outdoors. The cooler weather of autumn to spring is actually ideal for many outdoor adventure sports that could be uncomfortable in the heat of summer .
Proof positive – Magaliesberg businesses are promoting a walking tour through various fossil sites in the Cradle of Humankind, fly-fishing clinics for virtually all members of the family, abseiling into caves and off cliffs, rock climbing, nature walks, knobkierie golf, canyoneering, and zip-line slides. For a little less strain on the body and just as much sunshine, there are horse riding on outrides into the hills and quad-biking. All of these activities are a lot of fun and will help to keep bodies healthy and in tone for the summer fashions and activities.
There is no chance of a tan when stargazing in the Magaliesberg, but winter offers magic sightings of the Scorpius and Crux (Southern Cross). On certain dates, Vincent Nettman, based at Maropeng, offers a basic introduction to astronomy that will reveal ‘the Butterfly cluster, the Jewel Box, Omega Cantauri, and the Keyhole Nebula’. Combine that with a three-course dinner and you will warm up from within even though the night air is very fresh in the unpolluted air of Magaliesburg and the Witwatersberg.
Of course, if you don’t have a tan and want to be cosseted indoors, there are plenty of Magaliesburg and Magaliesberg accommodation venues that advertise pampering spa treatments. In the final analysis, bodies need and enjoy a rest period for maximum wellness and Magaliesburg and the Magaliesberg are ideally situated for a body break – indoors or out!
