Trails Through Grasslands & Canopies
We have a number of scenic, well-marked trails on the reserve. The routes pass through grasslands and riverine forests with a number of viewpoints.
Our trails allow you to experience the untouched beauty of the outdoors. Keep a close look out as you may even pass some of our antelope on the reserve, such as; Impala, Nyala, Grey and Blue Duiker.

Spend the day walking the trails with my 4 year old grandson. We loved the experience. The trails are well maintained and well marked. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us.

Outstanding experience. We saw nyala, impala and a beautiful variety of colourful birds building nests. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The trails are wide and very well marked. Cannot recommend highly enough. Just magnificent.
