Going on a bushwalk is to really immerse yourself in the mighty bush. On foot you will be able to track and follow the spoor of animals, come across interesting plants and trees and hear and smell the bushveld. There are a few options if you want to go on a bushwalk. The first one is easy: walk around on the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate where the Taaibos Bush Lodge is located.
The Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate (HWE) is about 680 hectares in size. There is a whole network of trails on the Estate that can be used if you want to go on a walk or a bicycle-ride. A large part of HWE is called the greenbelt; it is the perfect location for a sundowner-gamedrive in the evening or a walk or bicycle-ride. You will find a few dams along the way: Heron-Dam, Hamerkop-Dam and Fish Eagle-Dam. Tip: hang out for a bit in the birdhide. About 170+ bird species call HWE home so with a bit of luck you will be able to spot a Fish Eagle, Kingfisher or Vulture. Do you want to go on a walk with an experienced guide who can tell you all about the animal-life on HWE? Contact us, we know exactly who to call.
Second option for a bushwalk is to go out for a walk in a Big 5-reserve like Pridelands (next to HWE), together with experienced rangers off course. The whole experience of exploring the wilderness on foot, where big game roams, is super exiting and makes you feel humble. A professional trails guides will lead you safely as you track and encounter wild animals. Safety is always top focus. Contact us so we can help you book a big 5 bushwalk.
