MOLETADIKGWA TRAILS
Seven well-marked trails traverse a variety of habitats and terrain on Moletadikgwa. Two short
trails, the Waterbuck and the Duiker Trails, begin at Mokabi Lodge and together form a circular
route, meeting at a view site. Also taking off from the view site is the Klipspringer Trail, which
offers a third alternative route back to the lodge. Trails are marked in both directions with green
and white signs that bear the spoor of the animal for which the trail is named. A much longer
walk, the Zebra Trail, can be accessed from the road that passes the House Dam or by crossing
over the small hill south of Mokabi Lodge on the Kudu Trail. The Leopard Trail, which
incorporates a very steep section, provides a scenic link between the Zebra Trail and the
Duiker/Waterbuck/Klipspringer Trails. Another route, the Bushbuck Trail, has been laid out in
order to give access to the dense vegetation in the valley below the look-out points. It provides a
link between the Leopard and Waterbuck Trails.
All trails have panoramic views of different parts of the Waterberg. The well-known landmark
Hanglip (30km to the east) is visible from the Zebra Trail and, on a clear day, it is possible to get
a good view of Aasvoëlkop (90km to the west) from both the Zebra Trail and the start of the
Waterbuck Trail. Refer to the accompanying map for easy reference to the trails. Most of the
trails can be combined in a variety of ways to provide walks of differing scenery, length and
difficulty.
The trails described below have been laid out so as to provide the visitor with a range of easilyaccessible
routes that typify the landscape of Moletadikgwa. They are maintained as far as
possible in a condition that allows for relatively easy walking, the grass being kept cut so as to
minimise the risk of encountering ticks.
You are of course most welcome to walk (or cycle) anywhere on the property, in which case you
should always take a copy of the map with you (a field copy of the map and these notes is
enclosed in the brochure) and apply the tick repellent provided. Note that the boundary fence is
electrified; if you should come up to it, avoid touching the wires, for they deliver a memorable
shock! You may see that we have inserted some old car tyres into the base of the fence in some
places, to allow the free movement of small game such as hyena, warthog, cats and jackal.
