We were blessed to have Ash, the owner of @Olive Tree Farm hike with us. It was an educational guided hike by a very humble and passionate entrepreneur.
The trail is very green and shady with a beautiful lookout point where you can overlook the area and catch a glimpse of the animals. We saw the Giraffe, Zebra and a herd of buck grazing in the fields. Steven spotted an Ostrich running through the field and up the hill so fast, we could not even catch a picture of it. My favourite moment of this hike when we did it the first time, was spotting the golden Wildebeest as we were coming to the end of the hike. I have never seen that breed before but what beautiful creatures they are.
Our group of 38 hikers split into three groups with the Otter Trail Teams going the extra mile and completing 10km led by Paul, our fast-paced hiker. The other groups completed 6km and our recce team member, Michael led a group who wanted to hike to another viewpoint and completed just under 7km. We all gathered at the pool to refresh our tired feet while others took a dip.

After the hike, Ash joined us at Black Horse Brewery and Restaurant, Magaliesburg, where we spent the rest of the afternoon. Oh my goodness, there is so much to do there. The gardens are absolutely stunning.
We did gin tasting, candle dipping, clothing shopping, walked through the beautiful gardens, enjoyed the live one-man band, and had a yummy meal together.
