Trailinfo | Indabushe Hiking Trail

The Indabushe hiking trail is situated in the beautiful Schoemanskloof valley, less than 300km from Pretoria. The short ( 7km ) trail, stretches from the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain, passes ' klipkraal ' ruins through indigenous bush, offering surprisingly beautiful views over the cultivated fields of the valley, and the Kwena dam.

The landscape consists of indigenous savanna vegetation, with a wide variety of other indigenous trees, birds and some small game.
The interesting vegetation and figtrees at the krans is an attraction on its own. On top of the Plateau one finds grassland with a patch of intruder wattles, providing welcome shade for the tiring hiker. The beautiful fountain on top of the plateau is an ideal place to stop for lunch.

The trail was designed to give visiting guests and hikers the opportunity to explore the Bio Diversity of the area (River, bush and grassland plains).
The difficulty rating is relatively easy (4.3 out of 10 on the SATHOA difficulty scale).

The fact that there is a shorter option of only 4.5km will suit less experienced hikers perfectly, however , the full trail has enough to offer to make the trip from Gauteng worthwhile.

Few hiking trails in the country have a guesthouse, braai area and pool of this standard to retire to after a long and tiring walk.
The exceptional hospitality of the proud owners will make this 'break away 'a more than enjoyable experience; a hiking experience where
