General Information Venue:
The trails at De Wildt offer breath-taking 360 degree views of the Harties landscape. You will begin in a magnificent dense forest & then climb to summit the Magalies Mountains where you’ll get to explore the Ridge on top & soar with the vultures. You’ll experience a multitude of different fauna & flora, natural springs (in season) & endless views including Hartbeespoort Dam. It truly is a challenging trail & food for the soul. Wild Africa Experiences have rated the trail a 4/5 for all routes due to the initial ascent (5 being the most difficult) but hands down absolutely worth it!
