Booking a place in Hartbeespoort guest houses or a Hartbeespoort dam resort, you will immediately open up a Pandora's box to various African cultural experiences and magical experiences. Not only in the area, but also very close to Hartbeespoort dam, you will find various elements of nature, as well as culture that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
For example, the Sterkfontein Caves are extremely close (about 45 minute's drive) and many Hartbeespoort guest houses will provide you with information on how to get there and what to do (some offer tours of these caves and the surrounding areas.) The Sterkfontein Caves is included in the Cradle of Humankind and, after the discovery if "Mrs. Ples", was named the birthplace of human civilization. Another site you need to visit while staying at a Hartbeespoort dam resort is the famous Lesedi cultural village. Located just 13 kilometres from Hartbeespoort dam, this lodge and cultural village gives you the unique opportunity of experiencing various African cultural traditions. This is classified as a UNESCO world heritage site, so could become something to cross off a bucket list (along with, of course, bungee jumping in the Magaliesburg mountains and even sky diving with one of the area's adventure companies.)
The Maropeng visitor's centre is also a Cradle of Humankind attraction and is a lovely museum and gallery where you can learn about the rich history and culture of the area specifically and Africa as a whole. Places like Saddle Creek ranch are a maximum of one hour's drive away and you can choose to do horse riding, hiking and even quad-biking on these farms.
You will thus quickly, if you do proper research, see that the area itself and the surrounding area of Hartbeespoort dam is filled with exciting prospects and will never leave you bored or looking for something to do. All you need to do is bask in the richness of the environment and take every opportunity available to you. Getaways or holidays in this area are both exciting and educational - in the best possible way.
