Dr Ruth Segomotsi 25km
The 25km extended Dr Ruth Segomotsi loop ventures deeper into the Kalahari-fringe Bushveld around Vryburg on bush tracks and gravel roads through denser thornveld. The larger game farms in the Vryburg area — running species adapted to the semi-arid conditions including gemsbok, eland and springbok — provide more frequent wildlife encounters on the extended route. Carry ample water — no facilities on route.
What to Expect
Gravel roads and bush tracks on flat to gently rolling semi-arid terrain. The camelthorn savanna becomes more dense on the extended route with larger trees and more character. Wildlife encounters on game farm boundaries are more likely than on the shorter loop.
Getting There
Vryburg on the N14. GPS: -26.9534, 24.7289.
