Rock Pool hike

This is an intermediate 1.5 hour walk along a well-marked pathway. Admire the beautiful mountains and rock formations along the way. You will have the chance to see Klipspringer and a variety of birds. In summer the waterfall into the Rock Pool is not very strong, but the cool pool of water at the bottom is always there – a lovely place to swim and cool off during your hike.

Viewpoint hike

A 3-hour intermediate hike along an old jeep track takes you to absolutely stunning views over Blinkberg mountain towards the Tankwa Karoo and onto the Grootrivier valley. You will have the chance to see Klipspringer and a variety of birds along the way.
