1-DAY HIKES

We can help you choose the right spot to go exploring, in a safe environment!

KAAPSEHOOP TO ADAM’S CALENDAR 13km, easy hike. Gentle undulating terrain on the escarpment, fabulous views all the way. 

 

CEYLON HUT, SABIE TO THE TOP OF LONE CREEK FALLS, 9km, uphill for first 1.5hrs, moderate hike. Hike through pine plantations on a jeep track/trail.

 

PRESIDENT BURGER TO MACMAC HUT near Graskop 13km, uphill to MacMac Hut, moderate hike traversing natural woodland and pine plantation regions. Fabulous view of the valley once on the escarpment.

 

UITSOEK TRAIL, near Sudwala Caves. Follow a riverine valley upstream to the base of a waterfall; very pretty terrain. 10km easy hike.

2-DAY HIKES

KAAPSEHOOP TO FLORENCE HILL HUT 15km, the undulating route goes via Adam’s Calendar, all along the stunning escarpment to the Hut situated at an old forest station. Probably the best overnight trail in Mpumalanga! Jackals, baboons, reedbuck and duiker have been spotted along this trail.

 

CEYLON HUT TO MARITZBOS HUT 9km easy to moderate hike, lunch stop above Lone Creek Falls. Maritzbos Hut is situated at the edge of a stunning riverine forest. Samango monkeys, bushbuck and duiker have been seen here.

 

STABLES HUT TO MT ANDERSON, Mpumalanga’s highest peak at 2284m (4 people maximum, price on request) Drive to Stables Hut overnighting, then hike the next day. This is an exciting and relatively easy to moderate hike, uphill, through the Hartbeesvlakte Reserve where ungulates such as eland and blesbok abound. Of course, this includes incredible views from the top!

SLACKPACKING

Enjoy the ease and comfort of just carrying your day's necessities whilst we transport your goods to the overnight Hut. Backpacking has never been this easy! You'll get the exercise without the exhaustion, and you can enjoy your braai in the evening as well. What more could a hiker ask for...
