Walking & Hiking
Walking in wonder
Adventures on foot
To understand the Luvhondo mountains, you must walk them. Our trail network traces the contours of the range, offering variety to suit a spectrum of interests and fitness levels. For instance, you can choose a short walk across red sand or push your limits on a full-day expedition up rugged quartzite ridges.
Walk with our expert guides to forage for wild teas and edible plants. Learn to read the tracks left in the dust. Stand beneath thousand-year-old baobabs and learn about the ingenious ways these families of trees communicate.
Lose yourself
If you seek adventure, explore the Hamasha Gorge. Cross mountain streams, climb past sandstone overhangs and scale hidden plateaus. Cool off with a swim in a secluded waterfall plunge pool, or ascend through isolated forest pockets to spot rare birds and track wildlife across the high escarpment.
Walking forces you to slow down, whether it’s a brief stroll to a waterfall or a strenuous trek up the mountain. Listen for birdsong. Notice the scent of crushed wild sage under your boots.
Become an expert forager as you learn about the edible and medicinal plants of the mountain. Gather wild basil or buckhorn leaves and contribute what you have found to your evening menu.
Lose yourself in the wonder of nature like never before.
