#Hiking - 56 posts

Klipriversberg Nature Reserve is more than your average Joburg City Park. It's a full-on hiking/nature-walking experience.

Last week I spent the night at Farmhouse@58, a chic accommodation spot just outside Joburg in the Cradle of Humankind.

We took a walk through the Harvey Nature Reserve on Linksfield Ridge, which bisects Joburg's northern and southern halves.

Last week I spent two days at Walkersons, a lodge just outside Dullstroom. I was dazzled by how bright green and blue everything looked.

After an eight-month hiatus from mt #10SouthAfricanTowns project, I finally visited another town: Kaapsehoop in Mpumalanga.

Since Joburg's parks re-opened, the Melville Koppies central section has been holding open days every Sunday morning.

I spent two days at the beach in Plettenberg Bay and then two days at the desert in Oudtshoorn. This is part I of the journey.

I spent a weekend in a cottage at Brahman Hills, a beautiful and quirky lodge and spa just off the N3 Highway in the Natal Midlands.

The Tswaing Crater, on the border of Gauteng and Northwest Provinces, is the site of a 220,000-year-old meteor impact and is now a nature reserve.

In the first week of my #Gauteng52 challenge, Ray and I went hiking on the Hennops Trail north of Joburg. We met several cows and a donkey.

Ray and I spent three days at Stone-Hill, a dog-friendly self-catering resort in Magaliesburg. We had a great time even though we don't have a dog.

I spent three days in Cape Town, doing all sorts of random, awesome things. I climbed Lion's Head, drank beer, ate fish and chips, and laughed at seals.
