About this tour
The Hartbeespoort Snake and Animal Park school tour, on the dam at the foot of the Magaliesberg just outside Pretoria, is a hands-on CAPS-aligned Life Sciences excursion for pre-school through Grade 12 learners. It is one of the most loved animal excursions for Gauteng schools.
Learners settle into the arena for a lively snake and animal demonstration, get up close to indigenous and exotic species, and explore the private park's other wildlife. An optional 20-minute ferry boat ride on Hartbeespoort Dam adds a memorable outdoor element to the day.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, park entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested Life Sciences school tours for Gauteng schools.
