About Hennops Zebra Trail

The Zebra Trail is the middle-distance option at Hennops, offering more time in the landscape than the Dassie Trail without the sustained climbing of the Krokodilberg Trail. The route combines river crossings, bushveld and game-viewing opportunities.

Hike Directions

Register at Hadeda Camp and use the current Hennops map. The route begins in the Hennops River area before working into the surrounding hills.

The trail includes a cable-car or suspension-bridge river crossing and passes features including Bokmakieries Bos, Oude Muragie and the dassie caves.

Wildlife that may be encountered includes zebra, blue wildebeest, impala, blesbok and kudu. Animals are free-ranging within the property, so sightings are never guaranteed.

Carry your own drinking water, sun protection and snacks.

About the area

Hennops lies in the river valley between Johannesburg, Pretoria and Hartbeespoort. Indigenous riverine trees, rocky gorges and plateau country create good habitat for birds and other wildlife. The wider trail system also contains traces of old settlements, dolomite mining and historic lime-burning activity.
