Krokodilberg Trails

Krokodilberg is one of Gauteng’s most unusual trail experiences — a 10km mixed terrain loop north of Pretoria that combines mountain biking with river crossings, cave systems accessible from the trail route, historical Iron Age and early settler sites, game sightings and a post-ride braai at facilities on the property. No other trail in Gauteng offers this combination of features in a single morning’s riding.

The Trail

The Krokodilberg loop departs from the braai facility area and enters rocky bushveld terrain immediately — the opening section crosses a river at a well-established ford that may require a foot-dab or full wade in wetter months but is rideable in dry conditions. Cave systems on the upper trail section are accessible from the trail for a brief exploration — not a full caving expedition but sufficient to add a dimension of genuine discovery to the ride. Historical stonework from Iron Age occupation is visible on the koppie sections, and small game sightings are a regular feature on the open bushveld sections. The return to the braai facilities completes a circuit that feels more like a multi-activity adventure than a standard trail ride.
