Life is about celebrating many moments, and for Must Love Hiking, we chose the breathtaking venue, Kloofzicht Lodge And Spa to do just that. 51 hikers came along to participate in this easy to moderate hike of just over 5.5km.
A hiking stick is recommended for balance and support on parts of the uneven terrain.
There is a 3km trail as well as the 5.5km trail. It is easy to moderate and covers most of the property.
Our hikers have different Merrell footwear which they testify to the comfort as well.
This venue usually only allows up to 20 hikers at a time excluding their lodge guests, but they were gracious to allow us to push them to over 50 hikers. The staff at this venue are amazing and made us feel special. Upon arrival of our large group, there was a table set out with complimentary water, a map and an indemnity form to complete.
The trail starts at the lodge and continues past two dams, passing a watering hole and lapa before returning to the lodge.
Follow The RouteOur Merrell footwear was so appreciated, as there are uneven parts of the trail where you need to carefully navigate through. Our recce team all opted for the Erie Mid Leather Waterproof hiking boot. Our hikers have different Merrell footwear which they testify to the comfort as well.
If you are planning to take hiking seriously, the first two items to obtain is good hiking socks and the correct footwear for your feet.

As we left the lodge to begin our hiking adventure, we passed a dam and meandered through the trail to a moderate incline. As we came through the incline, we paused to enjoy the sightings of wildlife running in their herds. This was truly a sight to behold. We noticed horses as we hiked along the perimeter of the venue.
We paused at the lapa overlooking a watering hole where we enjoyed some snacks before returning to the lodge. We took a moment to reflect on our hiking journey with our team. An eager Warthog was standing close by, keeping a watchful eye on us.
We enjoyed a hearty breakfast after the trail at the lovely restaurant at the venue where tables were reserved for our group.
