The beauty of the Queen Rose hikes is that anyone can do it, as long as you have a reasonable level of fitness and a pair of sturdy hiking boots. Some of the climbs may leave you a little short of breath but the views from the top will certainly take your breath away!

There is the accommodation. For those seeking the authentic hiker’s experience, the two hiking huts at base camp provide the perfect ‘basic’ accommodation. But for anyone looking for something special, the Matumi Bush Camp Cabin is the place to stay, nestled amongst the indigenous bush of the Nelshoogte Reserve. For weary hikers it is the perfect remedy for tired feet and the great news for those reluctant to walk is that it can be hired out by non-hikers too.

The Queen Rose hiking trails have it all, the spectacular views, incredible wildlife, entertaining river crossings and perfectly placed natural splash pools. What’s more, anyone can enjoy it from babies in backpacks to spirited senior citizens. Yet the real beauty of the trails is that it enables you to slip away from the stresses of modern-day life and reconnect with nature.
