Hike Directions

Day 1: Gathering and Arrival

We'll all meet at Leeu Gamka petrol station early morning for a group drive to Kalkfontein Guest House. Once there, we'll have time to explore the area and relax. Every evening, we'll enjoy sundowners and appreciate the beauty of a Karoo sunset.

Hiking Days

Day 2 begins with the Blue Wildebeest Trail, a 9.4km hike that takes about 4 hours. We'll ascend the mountain and reach the mountain house, a charming structure built by the local farmer and his workers. Day 3 involves the more challenging Klipspringer Trail, a 6.2km circular route that takes approximately 5 hours.

On Day 4, we'll descend the mountain on the Kudu Trail, a 11km hike that takes about 4 hours. After this final journey, we'll depart from the Karoo, reflecting on the magic and peace of our mountain adventure. All hiking routes are Green Flag routes, and it's worth noting that Sylvester the Lion once roamed these mountains.
