Majik Forest Durbanville - About the Attraction

Majik Forest is a tranquil park nestled between a green corner of vineyards and residential spaces in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs.

The lush grassy banks, stretches of manicured lawns and picnic areas are perfect places to relax for a bite to eat, while a kids’ play area provides plenty of entertainment for the little ones.

The forest is teeming with flowers, shrubs, and densely forested areas.

Admire the gushing dam from the green riverbanks or follow the gentle flowing streams through the forest, discovering different birds, plants, and fish along the way.

The Majik Forest is generally considered an easy walk and takes an average of 36 minutes to complete. There are also plenty of other secret trails leading in different directions to discover, or simply stick to the smooth paths for a leisurely stroll.

Majik Forest has several MTB trails to traverse. There are smooth paths made for speed, with bridges, rocky parts, and dips to navigate along the route. The main loop ranges from 2 – 5 km.

Due to its natural beauty, Majik Forest is a popular choice for family, couple, and wedding photo shoots.
