Don’s hike in April 2019
We really enjoyed our 4 day hike along the Leopard Trail, though I must confess it was tougher than I had expected. Possibly due to the recent heavy floods that clearly eroded many parts of the trail, however, this also lent an adventurous aspect – as though we were the first to explore the riverine areas and deep canyons. The latter were the highlight – beautiful, awe inspiring. And of course starry, starry nights …
The mess tents were comfortable and functional, though very sparsely equipped in terms of utensils, pots and pans. Showers and toilets were very good. Will be a great step forward when basic bungalows are available!!

SA’s Best Day Hike
A group of hikers last year commented that some places you just can’t capture with photos and videos. So for the next few weeks we challenged hikers to try their best to capture SA’s best day hike and share their footage. Here is a mix of the results. You decide.
Dramatic footage from hikers of the floods at camp 2

Kids take on year long research project on the Leopards of the Leopard Trail
A team of eight 11 year olds have taken on a year long project to research the Leopards of the Leopard Trail. In their own words:
“We are 8 kids that have a love for nature and want to make a difference. With two of us taking a year out of school to go and live in the Baviaanskloof wilderness, we have decided to do a project together as a team on the Leopards in the area. For most of the last 140 years Leopards were hunted in the area by farmers. Now many of the farmers have stopped hunting Leopards, so we are keen to find out more about the Leopards in the area using trail camera’s and getting the hikers to help.”
This cool bunch of kids has launched a fundraising campaign to buy the cameras needed for the project. The cameras will be donated to Leopard Trail. You can read the whole story and support their project here
