Hiking Trails - Overview

Klipkop offers a fabulous venue for taking a hike on the highveld. Trails take walkers through near-pristine vegetation - from grasslands to bushveld, through valleys, over koppies and down by streams.

Two (2) hiking trails are currently open: Verfkop (15km) and Tweedragt (18km). All walks are accompanied by a guide.

You don't need to travel far to enjoy wide open spaces, magnificent game, and a chance to 'walk on the wildside'. There are braai and pool facilities available too, if you'd like to linger a little longer.

For those who are *definitely* in no rush to head back to civilisation, we'd like to recommend you stay overnight. You'll get a goodnight's sleep in our home-style accommodation, and an early start for a hike the next day!

Trail / Verfkop

Distance: 15km
Grade: 5
Terrain: streams, plains and koppies

If you like to scramble up rocks and hoof it up hills, this could be the hike for you. The 4-5km of gently undulating plains will help you catch your breath.

There are some lovely streams along the way if you need to soak your feet. The lunch stop is on top of Verfkop, with panoramic views of the area.

Trail / Tweedragt

Distance: 18km
Grade: 3
Terrain: streams and plains

The Tweedragt trail is a glorious long walk, across plains and down through a valley of game. If you are seeking the wind in your hair and wide open spaces, try this trail.

The terrain is not overly strenuous, but the distance will test your endurance. The lunch stop is by Tweedragt dam. Hopefully the water birds will be out at play.
