Take your hiking adventures to the next level with a three-day, two-night stay in the wild. Escape from the bustle of day-to-day living, and switch off from the world by embarking on a trip to Groot Winterhoek Nature reserve.

The picturesque area is home to beautiful landscapes featuring interesting rock formations and pristine rock pools. Better yet, cover yourself under a blanket of millions of stars in the middle of nowhere.
So what can you expect? Well, both days will be entry level distance. The first day will be mostly downhill towards the river to set up camp before sunset, and on the second day, you’ll hike further along the river and and set up camp. The third day you’ll head back to the starting point.
