Walks & Hikes

Trails run from gentle strolls in the Milkwood forest to hikes on the fynbos mountain, all well marked, and guests can walk with a guide or on their own. Ocean vistas open up on the higher routes, and the walking is quiet. On the way, guests meet King Protea and buchu, which carries a blackcurrant scent when the leaves are crushed. Guides at Grootbos have also trained in Zen Guiding, which they practise in the forest with guests. Self-guided walking suits guests who want unstructured time between scheduled activities, and costs nothing extra to arrange.
