Home: Welcome

"On the trail, time slows down, and the world seems to expand. Each step forward is a reminder that progress is possible, no matter how daunting the terrain ahead. With each mile, you become a little braver, a little stronger, and a little more alive." – Unknown

We have two separate hiking and accommodation venues: De Wildt Adventure Trails & Cheetah Lodge. Located approximately 30 minutes from Pretoria and 45 minutes from Johannesburg close to Hartbeespoort. Offering you a space where you can become one with nature  and soak up the full beauty of the majestic Magaliesberg Mountains. Offering you the opportunity to escape reality and recharge your soul through hiking or trail running, followed by a picnic, braai or something from our restaurant. Embrace the rustic charm of our campsite or immerse yourself in the elegant comforts our Cheetah Lodge brings.
