Bosbok Trail
The Bosbok Trail forms part of the Watthaba hiking trails and is a stunning route to take if you’re looking to immerse yourself in the lush greenery of Mpumalanga. The Bosbok route is the perfect option for hikers looking for a walk with various things to see along the way.
From sporadic clumps of mushrooms to wildflowers, you’ll have a wonderful time simply staring and admiring what nature can create. It takes around an hour to complete and is less populated than most trails, so you’ll find yourself having the opportunity to really treasure the silence and serenity of the area.
Forest Falls trail
With waterfall views and trailing through a forest, nothing can beat the tranquil space of Forest Falls. A great pick for individuals looking for a relatively easy hike, this trail is easy to navigate and also has a picnic area at the very end to spend the day soaking up the natural beauty.
When you find yourself in the cascading waters of Forest Falls, feel free to take a dip or simply marvel at its powerful presence. If you find yourself tempted to jump into these waters, be sure to pack in some comfortable shoes to navigate the slippery base along the waterfall.
This is also an excellent option to consider if you’re looking for a forest trail that allows dogs, with some areas also allowing off-leash opportunities for your pups to roam free.
