General Information Venue :

Route : Wild Africa Experiences have rated the Trail a 3/5 (5 been the most difficult). The routes will be a combination of single track, jeep track, maybe a hill or two & a few open tracks across the farms for those wanting to stretch their legs.

Walkers / hikers are more than welcome to join us & we cater for all fitness levels ranging from 5km to a challenging 15km.
