Thabaphaswa Blue Route
The Witvinger Loop is Thabaphaswa’s 13km intermediate trail — Tim Fair’s second design on this remarkable Nguni cattle farm takes riders down into the beautiful valley below Thabaphaswa Mountain and deep into the adjacent Witvinger Reserve. The route criss-crosses the major valley stream repeatedly — when it rains, the crossings become significantly more adventurous and the trail character changes entirely.
What to Expect
Jeep tracks and singletrack on moderately rolling valley terrain with stream crossings through the Witvinger Reserve. The valley below the mountain is particularly beautiful — a sheltered, green environment sheltered by the surrounding hills. Wildlife including leopard, brown hyena, kudu, baboon and jackal are all resident on the farm. The stream crossings add fun and the valley setting is one of Thabaphaswa’s most rewarding terrain features.
Getting There
