We arrange day and weekend hikes for both members and visitors in and around the Free State, other parts of South Africa and our neighbour countries. We strive to accommodate all hikers' needs by arranging hikes that vary from easy, moderate to difficult. We also combine hikes with other outdoor activities, such as horse riding, river rafting, abseiling, 4x4 and other social events. Whilst travell
ing to the different hiking destinations, we also visit historical / interesting places and people. The club was founded in 1986 and from these early days the club has continued to flourish and grow. Our vision is to introduce nature to fellow hikers in a responsible manner, by which we not only enjoy nature, but also protect and conserve our natural heritage. Our hiking club has many experienced members, some of which have been hiking for over 20 years or more and has developed a certain physical and mental fitness! Therefore we assist all new hikers in the art of hiking and proper hiking gear. We share our experiences and knowledge with everybody, in order to make your hiking experience "one of a life time".! We trust that you will enjoy this journey with us! Meeting information:
