Sterkfontein Caves
Just 25 minutes east of Magaliesburg, you’ll find a series of limestone caves considered the most productive paleo-anthropological site in the world, and one of the most important discoveries about human evolution — some fossils discovered here are over four million years old. The site offers access into the caves and walkways for viewing the excavation site where these fossils were discovered.
Askari Lodge Museum
This museum showcases one of the largest collections of 19th- and 20th-century animal-drawn vehicles, such as ox-wagons and carts. The Main Lodge building was built in the mid-1800s and has recently been restored. The museum also tells the history of the area with talks about how it evolved, and there are exhibits featuring Stone Age tools and carvings.
Schoemansville
One of the oldest suburbs of Magaliesburg, the charming village of Schoemansville is located next to the Hartbeespoort Dam. Meander around this lovely town, eat lunch at one of the lakefront restaurants, or take advantage of the excellent kayaking on the lake.
