STAMVRUG

HIKING TRAIL

For breathtaking views of the Waterberg, this hike will have you climbing a few steep kopjes, but it will be worth it through and through. Pass vlei-areas, valleys, small indigenous forests and grasslands. Keep your eyes open for the Transvaal Protea and the abundant birdlife.

This 2 day trail crosses the Jabulani and Genot farms in the Limpopo Province. Read more here or at www.trails.co.za.
