Mountains and Trails Around Hoedspruit โ€” A Local's Guide

By Mike Lawrie

<p><strong>The mountains around Hoedspruit are the northern Drakensberg escarpment โ€” Mariepskop (1,944 m), the cliffs of Blyde River Canyon, and the Klein Drakensberg range to the west.</strong> Trails span easy viewpoint walks (God's Window, Bourke's Luck) to the demanding Mariepskop summit and the multi-hour Blyde Canyon routes. Best season: April to September.</p>
