Good Things to do

The Midlands Meander is an outdoor Mecca offering an abundance of activities to all types of nature lovers and sportsmen. Tempt a trout in the Kamberg, paddle on Midmar Dam, watch Cape Parrot at Marutswa Forest, visit the Karkloof Falls and spot antelope in the Oribi Reserve. From the famous San Rock Art of the Kamberg to out-rides on Appaloosa Horses we offer you the wildest choice of activities in an authentic country environment.

Tee-off at Boshoek, fly fish for Yellows in the Lions River or take a guided forest walk in search of the endangered Karkloof Butterfly. Hike through indigenous mist-belt forest and farmlands or take a gentle ride along quiet country roads, stopping to sample cheeses and locally brewed ales along the way.

Those looking to add adrenaline to the mix, can go whizzing through an indigenous forest on the exciting Karkloof Canopy Tour, or negotiate the bridges and drop-offs of the first class mountain bike tracks that exist in this neck of the woods.

For the more laid back nature-lover, pack your bino’s and head off for sundowners at the Karkloof Conservation Centre and Bird Hides, where large flocks of Blue, Crowned and Wattled Cranes are a regular sighting. Take the family on an African bushveld picnic to Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve, or simply absorb the al-fresco ambience that is at the heart of all that we do on the Midlands Meander!
