SPORT AND LIFESTYLE

Besides the rich history, the Voortrekker Monument is also a place of relaxation. It is the ideal place to come and have a picnic, braai, jog, walk and cycle.

Here, joggers, walkers and cyclists are not only guaranteed a great workout, but also breathtaking views within our safe, fenced nature reserve.

Facilities such as Stokkiesdraai, the FAK Meander with Songs and Blinkvosperd lapa, are also available for hire to spend a relaxing day around the braai with friends and family at the foot of the impressive monument!

SPORTS ACTIVITIES

Die Voortrekkermonument currently has:

  • Two dirt road walking routes – a 5 km route, which is ideal for the whole family and walkers of all ages, and also a 6 km route, which is a much more challenging route.

  • Four tarmac walking routes – a 2 km, 5 km, 10 km and 15 km route.

  • Five mountain bike routes of 5 km each – Each route has its own character and challenges. Our mountain bike trails are of excellent, international quality and are maintained weekly with passion and pride by our maintenance staff.
