At Jacana Trails the phrase 'take a hike' is what they live for.

Whether it’s just a short day excursion close on the Frogs Trail in Cullinan, north of Pretoria, or a hike lasting several days along the Tsitsikamma coast, or a customised kayak or horse riding trail, there's a trail with your name on it.

In Mpumalanga, the Olifants River Gorge Cycad Trail follows a route overflowing with these ancient endemic plants. Or perhaps the lichen-covered rock formation’s of Limpopo’s Lindani Trail is more your scene?

If a great hike not far from Johannesburg is what you have in mind, the Uitkyk Trail is a day walk overlooking the magnificent Hartbeespoort Dam in the North West province, just an hour from the city.

For those who enjoy hiking in comfort, there’s the option of slackpacking, hiking without a backpack and with a hot bath, cooked meal and comfy bed at day’s end.

Four hours from Cape Town, the Swart Tobie Coastal Trail is a five-day wilderness slackpacking hike of 15 to 18km a day along the beaches of the West Coast near Koekenaap.

The Kosi Bay Slackpacking Trail takes in the pristine beaches of Maputaland where you walk along isolated beaches, through sand forests, dune forests, savannah, wetlands and rivers. The Silver Sands Trail and Oystercatcher Trail are other slackpacking options.

Or perhaps you have a taste for adventure, or you’re a keen angler, mountain biker, 4x4 enthusiast or paddler? Jacana also has specialised trails perfectly suited to these pursuits in various parts of the country.
