Olifantsfontein
VoetsToetsHiking ventured out to explore Prime View Adventure & Leisure in Olifantsfontein, Gauteng. Swapping the usual rugged mountain trails for a more relaxed, scenic walk around the dam before enjoying lunch at the restaurant.
5km route on offer
Well maintained, easy route
Merrell hiking boots, sunscreen, sun protection and hydration
The trail follows wide, well-maintained paths that wind around the picturesque dam, with open grasslands and peaceful countryside in every direction. The terrain is mostly flat, making for an enjoyable and easy walk. One of the highlights was passing large herds of cattle grazing peacefully along the route. Seeing so many cows roaming the fields added to the farm-style charm and made the experience feel like a true escape from city life.
