Itinerary description

We combined two trails for a mornings exploring. Well worth a visit.

Porcupine Trail (easy: approx 3.5km complete). Enjoy sandstone outcrops and overhangs, open grassland and a wide variety of birdlife.

Caracal Contour (approx 5.2km complete) The vistas are simply stunning.

We had three local dogs join us for the mornings walk. They would not leave us alone to start with so we let them tag along. We really enjoyed the company, they are well know by the locals.
