Prepaid Overnight Hike - Bermanzi Trail

Prepaid Overnight Base Camp Hike near Machododorp MP
Join us for Christmas in July - we will be celebrating a mock Christmas with Christmas dinner, Christmas games and a white elephant gift exchange.
We will be staying in the Vikashani Chalet which is a private luxurious double story stone build chalet that offers spectacular views of the Komati river valley and surrounding areas. It is fully equipped with all amenities and a small fire place in the lounge for cold winter nights.

The farm was the property of President Paul Kruger in 1899-1901.
The officially named Uitkoms waterfall that is a spectacular feature of the farm has a sad story attached to it, which is why it is known locally as “Brides Leap Falls.”
Following the markers the trail goes through the awesome stone gorge (Die Skeur) eventually going downhill through beautiful indigenous bush and eventually you will see the Magnificence Uitkoms Waterfalls
