This is a 4000 hectare game
farm outside Bela Bela in the Waterberg in Limpopo. There are 2 overnight hikes
and 2 day trails on this farm. Diepdrift Farm has hikes for the experienced and
those just looking for an awesome stroll through nature. They have many species
of antelope and bushveld trees on the reserve.
The Hippo Hiking Trail
is a 24km trail over 2 days. It heads through the bushveld leading to a hippo
pool where it is suggested not to swim because crocodiles are spotted there on
a regular basis. Other game will also be spotted on this route. It is a
circular trail. Be exceptionally careful at the pool because of the hippo’s and
crocodiles.
The Sable Hiking Trail
is also a 24km, 2 day trail. It is a tough trail with steep climbs and descents
which cross the Diepdrift and Elandsfontain farms. You will definitely spot
some game while you cross the mountain range and walk into a kloof. Then you
are rewarded at the top of the plateau with spectacular and breath taking views of the
bushveld landscape.
There are two shorter
trails, the Bontebok Hiking Trail which is 4km, about 2 hours. It is a
circular hike through the hills which is best done in the late afternoon or
early evening. Then the Klipspringer Hiking Trail which is 8km and
4hours. This is another circular trail which explores the unusual erosion on
the farm with stunning rock formations. There is plenty of game to be spotted.
