A network of paved, contoured pathways make their way throughout the 800 hectare Walkersons Estate and up into the mountain reserve. In fact, in the valley, over 3000m of paved paths make it easy for either a hearty jog or a lazy, pleasant riverside stroll beside beautiful winding rivers. Alternatively our more energetic hike to the top of the estate will take you closer to a variety of wildlife, which includes impala, zebra, blue wildebeest and bles buck, and offers truly panoramic and spectacular views.
