We cater for the CASUAL HIKER...and the enthusiast with energy to burn! The 7.5km circular KUDU ROUTE hugs the foot of the mountain and gives you a good workout and appreciation for our slice of the famous Bushveld.
For the more energetic you can hike our mountainous 6-11km BLACK EAGLE ROUTE and enjoy the panoramic views towards Botswana and the Waterberg. Expect sightings of kudu, mountain rheebuck, zebra, klipspringer, resident black eagles, and much more.
​
Remember your water bottle, suntan lotion, snacks, camera/cell, binoculars, Bird Guide (if that's your thing!)...or leave it all behind and do some serious TRAIL RUNNING!

We offer half-day "brown river rafting" on the picturesque Crocodile River. Enjoy a vigorous work-out, or drift down the sluggish current and surprise a wide variety of bird-, fish- and wildlife enroute! Ask our farm manager for a drop-off / collect date/time. We got two kayaks that fit 4 big or 6 small enthusiasts!
Remember water, snacks, suntan lotions, a hat, old clothes and be very careful with cellphones and camera's...its calm rafting BUT a swim or two is to be expected! Bring your own kayaks for bigger groups.
​
NOTE: There are very occasional sightings of crocodiles and even hippos and this activity is completely on your own risk.

R600/trip (Max 4 guests, unless own kayaks)
