STAMVRUG
TRAILS

If you're after Wi-Fi and room service, you're in the wrong place. But if your idea of a good time is hiking through wild spaces, swimming in rock pools, spotting giraffes and zebras, and falling asleep under a sky full of stars — then Bateleur is your kind of place.

We’re tucked away in the Waterberg, one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets when it comes to raw, unfiltered nature. It’s malaria-free. The summers are warm and dramatic, with afternoon thunderstorms rolling through, while winters are crisp and sunny — perfect hiking weather.

​

​Stamvrug Hiking Trails, consists of a network of about 8 different routes, which cater to beginners, as well as seasoned hikers.  Relax around a campfire at one of our hiker's basecamps, or upgrade to a basic self-catering cottages, or treat yourself to slackpacking and stay in our Mountain Villa . Cool off in our perennial mountain streams rock pools and natural clean dams.

Low-profile city cars beware! After a season of generous rain, only high-clearance vehicles should tackle the road to Bateleur.
