"Extension of Ridge Walk"
This is an extension of the "Ridge Walk" which is also a circular trail that begins and ends
at the farmhouse. Altogether you will have about 3 hrs of walking ahead of you.
Still very nice scenery and good views, but with the extra of having the chance of seeing
Hartmann's Mountain Zebra. And a wider variety of birdlife can be seen as the extension
takes you passed a drinking place for the game, under a large Acacia Karoo. Here Egyptian
Geese and Plovers are sometimes seen, and you also have a better chance of seeing Kudus and
Baboons. Terrain is the same as for the "Ridge Walk", as well as the recommendation for shoes
and water, except an extra litre of water per person should be taken along. A nice long walk,
so have fun. |
