SUMMER TRAILS. SMARTER ADVENTURES.

South African summer is perfect for exploring our beautiful mountains, but the heat can catch you off guard.

Before heading out:
• Start early to avoid the midday heat.
• Carry enough water and snacks.
• Wear a hat and apply sunscreen.
• Choose a route that matches your fitness and experience.
• Take regular breaks in the shade.
• Turn back if you feel unwell or conditions become uncomfortable.

Dizziness, nausea, unusual weakness or confusion can be signs of heat-related illness. Stop, get to a cooler place and seek medical help if symptoms are serious.

Plan ahead. Listen to your body. Enjoy the trails responsibly.

HIKE SMART. RIDE SMART.

SNAKE FACTS
Did you know? You cannot tell whether an African snake is venomous by the shape of its eyes.
Snake eyes come in different shapes and sizes, and pupil shape is more closely related to whether a snake is active during the day or at night.
Never rely on eye shape to identify a snake. Give snakes space, leave them alone and never try to kill or handle them.
SNAKE SMART. RESPECT OUR WILDLIFE.
