If you’re lucky, you might even spot a bushbuck, a sneaky genet, or even a rare caracal!
If you’re a bird nerd, the African crowned eagle has been known to make an appearance, too.
There are two hiking options:
The 3km (Grade 1) hike is super easy, family-friendly, and perfect for beginners and little adventurers.
The 8–10km (Grade 2) hike is a longer, scenic trek for those keen to soak in more nature.
