Prepaid Overnight Base Camp Hike near Heidelberg
Sole Mates is a Cashless Hiking Club. Make all ADMIN FEE payments via EFT prior to the hike.

The Kipkraal Guest Farm is a classic Highveld hiking destination with rugged koppies, open grassland, rocky ridges, and wide views over the Suikerbosrand region. Trails offer solid climbs, relaxed contour walking, and rewarding viewpoints—ideal for overnight hikes with a real sense of space and quiet. Accommodation at Die Opstal is comfortable and welcoming, making it easy to unwind after a full day on the trail and enjoy a relaxed evening under the stars.
Participation is based on a first come first serve basis. If the hike is filled up, we encourage you to add yourself to the waiting list. Often more spaces can be made available if required.
