This is a circular self-guided trail situated in the Naukluft
Park. It takes about 4 to 5 hrs to complete.
It starts off with a climb to the top of a small plateau with a magnificent view, where you
then climb down into a gorge, which you follow for most of the way. Then towards the end, after
the chains, you join onto a rough 4X4 track that leads you back to the car park where you left
your car.
Quiver trees as well as Euphorbia can be seen in the gorge. Love Birds, Mountain Zebra and
Klipspringer are sometimes seen on the hike.
Terrain gets quite difficult once in the gorge, where you have to climb onto and over a few
large rocks, and towards the end there is quite a tricky bit involving a chain. A beautiful
but exciting hike nevertheless.
At least 2 litres of water each should be taken along, as well as good walking shoes and a hat.
Please remember to report at the office before doing either of the hikes in the Naukluft Park
as otherwise no one will know where you are. |
