Gauteng Xplorer tours launches new tour
Gauteng Xplorer Tours has launched its new Harties Aerial Cableway & Lion & Safari Park Day Tour, a full-day experience that combines panoramic views of Hartbeespoort with close-up encounters with some of South Africa’s most iconic wildlife.
Timed to coincide with Heritage Day, 24 September 2026, the tour showcases the region’s natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle and wildlife heritage in a single, curated itinerary less than an hour from Johannesburg and Pretoria.
“The new tour is not just about sightseeing; it’s about storytelling and non‑stop excitement,” said Glynn Soule from City Sightseeing Johannesburg. “By combining the longest mono-cableway in Africa soaring over the Magaliesberg mountains, sweeping views of Hartbeespoort Dam and a thrilling safari experience, we want guests to enjoy our landscapes and our wildlife”.
The Harties Aerial Cableway & Lion & Safari Park Tour is a full-day, guided excursion from Johannesburg that combines a scenic cableway ride up the Magaliesberg with a wildlife-rich safari experience.
Guests enjoy 360-degree views over Hartbeespoort Dam from the Harties Aerial Cableway’s summit walkways and viewing decks, followed by a guided open-vehicle safari
drive through the Lion & Safari Park with possible sightings of lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, various antelope species and more.
The tour is operated as a scheduled small-group experience on Thursdays and Saturdays, offering a high-quality guided experience for both local and international visitors.
To make the experience as accessible as possible, Gauteng Xplorer Tours offers pick-up from seven centrally located points in Johannesburg, ensuring convenient access for guests staying in or near the city. These multiple collection points make it easy to join the tour without needing private transport.
The Harties Aerial Cableway & Lion & Safari Park Day Tour is available to book online, with full details on timings, pick-up points, pricing and availability listed on the website. For more information or to book, visit: https://citysightseeing.co.za/en/joburg/johannesburg-harties
