Our hikes and special focus camps
We offer custom made hikes to the Southern Berg. We also design special focus camps in the Umkomaas Valley
Southern Berg Hikes
Our Berg hike takes place in the Southern Berg and the hikes we do range from a 4
day hike for Grade 7 learners to a 12 day hike for Grade 10 learners. We operate our
of Pholela Hut at Cobham . The routes are well known and are safe but at the same
time adventurous.
The goals of our hikes are 3 fold:
1. Give children the opportunity to form lifelong memories.
2. We provide the opportunity for our clients to become a better, or even the best
version of themselves. Children are taken out of their comfort zone and provided
with the opportunity to practise not quitting. They also learn to be selfless as they
hike in groups and their actions don’t just impact on themselves, but on the whole
group.
3. Expose them to the incredible scenery that our country has to offer.
Safety is of paramount importance and we have excellent communication through
the use of Garmin In-reach, radios and where possible, cellphone connections. We
also have access to a qualified paramedic if needed for the duration of the hike. Our
leaders all carry a comprehensive first aid kit, and have communication with base
camp throughout the hike.
Camping equipment can be provided, if needed. We offer either catered or self-
catered hikes.
Our Leadership camps


Our Passion for Adventure
These take place in the Umkomaas Valley. They are usually for Grade 9 (Our Boys
to Men hike) or Grade 11 (Our Survivor leadership Camp.) They can be 2 or 3 nights in length.
Both camps have similar, but slightly different objectives. These, broadly are:
1. Leadership. Here they focus on firstly leadership of self as without this, one cant
lead others.
2. The consequences of choices.
3. Opportunities to develop character and grit.
These are tailor-made to the needs of the group and can include things like a water
safely course and the skinning and cutting up of a buck.
