Not for anyone who is unsteady on their feet

Its a Lovely Nature Reserve. Its worth Checking out, however the hike is abit extreme and dangerous for me personally, but for anyone whose up for the challenge its good????

It's very peaceful and calming just to look over at the river, there's an abundant variety of birdlife too. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for us to attempt a hike. Toilets are kept clean, all covid safety regulations are followed and practiced at the reserve.

Heard good things about the place. Decided to do a Sunday afternoon picnic. Closing time stated as 6pm on Google. Got there around 3pm. Main gate was open to drive in. All the access gates into the park itself from the parking lot were closed. No signs, no staff visible. Very disappointing.

Over view of the place .
There is a decent parking area . There is no security .
There is a school of some sort next to the reserve. At the entrance there is a map of all the hikes . In total there is about 6 hikes. Ranging from 0.5 km to about 4km . There is no entrance fee .
To enter there is just a gate to open. There is a small boma in the front . Next to the boma there is a pond with fish .
And just below the boma there a small stream.
The bathrooms are abit dilapidated.
The hikes are marked all along the way but there is room for improvement.
The longest hike goes parallel to the river and there are houses on the other side of the river.There is cell phone reception along the hike.
So overall it need improvement.
And just a suggestion that it is much safer to go with a group

A lovely place to trail walk. Good for getting back in touch with nature. You can follow the river by jumping rocks or go on one of the trails. The trails will take you up to an altitude from which you can view the river.

Scenic. Plenty of trails depending on your needs. Lots of fun river crossings. Located close to the city. Braai facilities are available on request. Good option for a family/outdoor adventure day.
