Fig Tree Farms offers compact indigenous bush singletrack in the Hillcrest area of the Valley of a Thousand Hills — conveniently located for Durban riders seeking quality trail riding without the long Drakensberg drive. The 8.7km route is intermediate in grade with flowing singletrack through KZN bush on the rolling terrain characteristic of the valley system.

What to Expect

Flowing indigenous bush singletrack on gently rolling terrain. Technical demands are intermediate and the trail is well-suited to regular fitness riding close to the city. The indigenous bush provides shade on hot coastal hinterland days and the wildlife — vervet monkeys, birds and reptiles — adds interest throughout.
