Nature walks and trekking

‘’Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference” – Robert Frost

Wild animals in the area are shy and scattered. It is a home for bushbucks, warthogs, ostriches, hyenas, jackals, vervet monkeys, the endangered Grevy zebras, gerenuks, migrating elephants.

Baboons and leopards are often heard close-by in the granite rock cliffs and the fig trees abound with birdlife. In close proximity to the lodge, we have an exciting natural rock slide and a perfect picnic site, a fun spot to spend the midday hours.

There is a multitude of walks one can take from the lodge in the dry rugged country on the valley floor or high in the Cedar forest.

‘’May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds” – Edward Abbey

The vegetation gets denser as you climb until it eventually turns into a fully-fledged rainforest, accompanied by all the joys that they bring. The flora and fauna are incredible, monkeys rush between trees and they provide a welcome respite from the heat. Your final ascent to the main peak is amply rewarded by views down to the scrubland below.

We can arrange different forms of trekking to cater to both kids and adults. From soft short walks to all-day mountain trekking. On request, we can also arrange two to three days of mountain hiking with camping.

Technical climbing on the rocks and mountains surrounding the area, for adrenaline-seeking people, with our professional climber can also be arranged.
