Join us on the Harties Cruise Boat deep inside the Cradle of Humankind…

As you look up, you see the crystal-clear azure blue skies overhead dotted with white clouds. If you’re lucky, you may see the highly endangered Cape Vultures and rare Black Eagles flying above you. You are flanked on one side by the awe-inspiring vertical cliffs of the majestic Magaliesberg Mountains the oldest mountain range on earth, and, on the other side you see more gentle-sloping Witwatersberg. Around you the water ripples past with an expectant gurgling excitement and a Fish Eagle cries its lofty song in the distance.
