Hartbeespoort, informally also known as "Harties", is a small resort town in the North West Province of South Africa, situated on slopes of the Magaliesberg mountain and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam. The name of the town means "gateway of the hartbees" (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans. It was previously known as Schoemansville, named after General Hendrik Schoeman, a Boer General in the Anglo-Boer War, who owned the farm that the Hartbeespoort Dam was built on.

Honestly, the best one I’ve had so far. They were so nice to book us in last minute, literally 10pm the night before and arranged our transportation. Horses were very calm and great for first timers and non experienced riders. That’s Padi and he was so well behaved, I couldn’t believe.

It was my first time going horse riding and I was scared at first but I was given the best and well-behaved horse named Juliet. It was an amazing experience and the open-air Swedish massage was the cherry on top. I would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

This Nature Reserve is unfortunately no longer open to the public. We still offer accommodation, please visit our website for more information.
Best safari I ever did. Silkaatsnek offers a horseback safari, which is absolutely great. You really feel one with the giraffes and zebras walking about. Staff was very friendly and professional and all animals are well cared for. The horses were well trained to deal with people without riding experience. The area is great as well, though I had hoped we would venture a bit more up to the hills. Still, highly advise anyone to go here.

I really suggest if you have time for one thing only. Go to the animal park. The snake variety is amazing. The animals are so well looked after, its unbelievable. The show of the seals and the snakes was breath taking and the kids will love it to bits. This is a must must!
