FURTHER INFORMATION

OVERVIEW

Thaba Trails offers an in-the-city safari experience with indigenous highveld flora and an array of savannah wildlife. Riding surface varies from smooth, flowing jeep and single track to technical, rocky trails. The hills in the reserve guarantee hard climbs and satisfying elevation gain. There are dedicated Enduro lines for experienced riders. Drainage is exceptionally good and trails remain rideable long after other Gauteng trails become muddy after periods of heavy rainfall.
