Thaba Trails

Thaba Eco Hotel and Trails is the most comprehensively resourced MTB venue in Gauteng — a private eco-hotel property south of Johannesburg with 50km+ of colour-coded singletrack, hotel-quality accommodation on-site, a full restaurant and the kind of trail maintenance standard that makes it a year-round destination regardless of season. The combination of infrastructure and trail quality gives Thaba a character that no other Gauteng venue can match.

The Trail Network

The green 10km easy loop provides an excellent introduction to Thaba’s trail quality — flowing, well-surfaced singletrack on the hotel’s flatter ground with moderate Johannesburg South koppie terrain as a backdrop. The blue 25km intermediate loop is the venue’s signature offering: flowing singletrack with moderate rocky climbs through the koppie terrain, consistently good trail surface, and the kind of route variety that keeps repeat visitors returning. The full 50km advanced network incorporates the black route’s technical sections for riders who want the complete Thaba challenge.

Overnight Trail Programme

The Thaba Eco Hotel’s accommodation makes overnight trail programmes practical — two full days of riding, a proper dinner, and a comfortable bed between sessions is available at a single venue within 25km of the Johannesburg CBD. No other Gauteng trail venue offers this.
