Awesome owner. Well marked route.Dogs love it. Went alone so didnt get to go into the caves but it look beautiful

We had a great time. Avi was amazing in suggesting the best trial for the dogs so they have shade. Its well marked so impossible to get lost. The caves were so unique to see...made it so different from every other hike. She has some exciting things coming....watch this space

What a great find!Took our kids on the 4,2km hike. Nice and challenging, but not too crazy. Caves are fun, and lots of pretty scenery. Highly recommended!

Had a fantastic hike at Made on Earth Hiking Trails. We werent able to explore the cave as we had our dogs, but the caves sounded like a great adventure. The dogs loved the hike and we were able to have a picnic aftewards. Avi was so helpful and a wonderful hostess. Also a big thank you to her and her family for assisting when we had a flat battery.

A picture speaks a thousand words. Stunning hiking trail with 3 diff trails into caves. If you do this one you need to remember to take a 🔦 . Did the 4.2km red trail. OMW….That climb up the mountain is not for the faint hearted. Challenging, but the view was so worth it.

Great hike and excellent staff. Definitely worth a visit.

We loved this walk. We did the red ‘Humbler’ trail. It is a challenging 4.2km with steep, rocky climbs and descents. But it’s worth it for the lovely views and amazing trees, grasses and flowers. We did not see them but there are apparently monkeys and rabbits. There three caves - one is big and needs torches for a proper explore.It starts and finishes with a walk along the Hennops river.Dogs are allowed on an lead. Place for picnics. Watch out for ticks - protect the humans and dogs.

At arrival we got greeted by the friendly host that told us about the history of Made on Earth hiking trails and explained  the trails to us. This was our first time on the Made on earth hiking trails. The hike was nice and challenging with a beautiful views. There are caves to explore so bring a headlight if you plan to go down in them. We went down to the mouth of the cave and it was exhilarating.The walk along the river was beautiful and magical like walking through a forest. All around us the sounds of birds, insects buzzing and we ate some mulberries. After exiting the forest you experience the open landscape and start climbing the hills of the mountain. This was  mesmerizing with beautiful purple flowers and trees. We were surprised by a bit of rain that cooled us down in the heat of the day. After a challenging climb over the mountain we went down and arrived at a cave. We then walked down to the end of the trail back through the forest.The hike was very peaceful with alot to see of nature.This is a must for people that enjoy hiking.

One of the best marked trails Ive seen. A good workout,and excellent panoramic views. We will definitely be back!

We were greeted by Avi, she gave us a very warm welcome. She explained everything to us about the trails and gave us some few useful tips to use on the difficult parts and i must say those tips did really help us get through. As a first time hiker i found the trails challenging and yet exciting. A beautiful scenery.All in all the experience was amazing and will definitely be going back. i highly recommend it

Excellent all round experience and the caves were the highlight. Distances are deceptive and with my coastal lungs, they and my legs were burning much better at the top of the climbs...

🦇🦇🦇 Bat cave adventures🦇🦇🦇 we hiked to 3 amaaaazing caves. The Main cave had a entrance tunnel of about 2 Meters long with a crawl space of 50 cm high into a huge cavern.Did the yellow trail and then onto the red trail.Well worth the time and effort🌟🌟🌟

It is a very unique hiking trail. We enjoyed it a lot. The trails are marked out well and exploring the caves was amazing. Would definitely recommend it to all.

What an experience! This was our first time to Made on Earth Hiking Trails, we took our three dogs with us and had an adventurous day out! Avi and her family are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. They have only been open to the public for a few months so trails are brand new. There is so much potential here and we are so excited to hear of some future developments! It’s going to be fantastic.As a beginner hiker with three dogs, we found the trail to be a fair challenge! - we did manage with lots of rests along the way. The heat on the day that we went didn’t make it any easier but the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We lost the trail markings at one point (because we were keeping more of an eye on the dogs than the markings) but Avi was a phone call away to help us navigate our way back onto the right path. They do have plans to provide more detailed maps.There are some caves to explore but we didn’t get a chance to go inside as the dogs were very eager to get back and cool off. Older dogs may struggle on the trail if they aren’t fit, ours were probably silently swearing at us all the way home! Dogs do need to stay on lead but we found in some sections they had to go up on their own to avoid tripping up on the loose rocks. It was a great day out and we will be back again soon!A note on how to get there: use the directions that take you via Centurion through Erasmia to avoid driving on dirt roads and through the Hennops River just off the R511 (unless you have a 4x4 in which case it’s pretty fun!). Also, there are clean bathrooms at the property! Looking forward to seeing how this place develops! A truly special gem that will soon be very popular!

More of a rock climbing experience, short but vigorous hike. No braai facilities and they are working on showers. Call for arrangements

The service is out of this world, Avi is the genuine person with a good heart, the hiking trail is new, so is currently perfect for hiking.You can hike and braai at the venue.Scenery is beautiful, the hike is easy of you are fit.I will definitely go again for the following reasons:1. Avi was patient with us.2. Very accomodative3. Extended her kindness by calling us after hike, just to check if we all made it home safe.4. The scenery is beautiful, caves are adventurous 😍😍5. They busy extending the trail, so I will go for a longer one.6.The Place is still exclusive, so is not as congested like most of the hiking trails in Gauteng lately.

Great day out @ made on earthMany thanks to the owner for a great welcome.Trail is good and marked

Lovely morning hike. Nice challenging sections, worth the views and tranquility. If you want to experience the main cave bring a head lamp and get ready to crawl.

Secluded and Challenging hike with very unique caves and extraordinary mountain top views. Owners are extremely friendly and informative. The only notation I would make is theres woodcutters in the area and its not 100% safe but if you have a group with a couple of men on board theres safety in numbers.

Easily find your way around, with very friendly and helpful staff.

Absolutely amazing place to go hike. Owners will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and safe. Breathtaking scenery. Loved every minute.

Has potential, was nice first time. With a little work can become awesome..

Challenging hike with a big cave to end it. The cave was really cool and exciting to explore.

The 5km trail is a bit challenging, super friendly staff, enjoy ed the hike.

We got lost as we followed the blue line, at the split of roads we took the right road instead of left cuz there were no markings. The staff was so friendly, we called n told were we are n they advised we lost n must come back.

Loved it but its definitely not a mild hike 😊 moderate to hard and not for people with a fear of steep slopes or heights. Will do it again, without the kids

Excellent trail, great climbs and scenery

Very scenic. The kids really enjoyed exploring the caves. Beats a lot of other hikes that are too busy. Definitely worth a visit. From Jason

Was a good hike. During the briefing the owner said the route is moderate, but on completion of the 7km blue route I disagree. The blue route is definitely extreme. Not for the faint hearted

Great hike it was. We did the 6km route with the kids and we all enjoyed the view and the caves. Great experience.

The trails are not so bad,did it with the normal running shoes ...the cave is epic and had my tea and sandwiches deep inside......

Awesome hiking trail, with spectacular scenery

We had amazing experience, thank you 😊🙏

We had the absolute best hike today. The caves are absolutely incredible provided you can get through the tight squeeze at the beginning. But once you are in you will not be disappointed 👍

Beautiful hiking trail and amazing views!

This was an amazing experience. Booking was easy and the people are friendly. We were well informed about the trail and difficulty level. It was lovely to start off hiking along the Hennops River and hearing the river. The views are amazing, especially once you reach the top of the mountain where we stopped for a picnic. There was a steep hill, but its totally manageable as my 3 daughters coped well. We witnessed a troop of monkeys, which is always so exciting and my kids absolutely loved the caves and the climbing. I dont enjoy hiking on a flat surface, so this was perfect for us, just the right amount of climbing made this feel like a genuine hike. At no stage did we feel unsafe either. It was definitely an enjoyable experience and we will definitely be going back. Thanks to all who made it amazing.

Was a nice hike, sadly some issues: caves are filthy, and looked lived in, not protected at all, garbage etc. Route blue, yellow markers are not clear on route to what distance or cave your hiking to. Otherwise area is scenic, some parts of route sharp incline to challenge you. A pity about the dirty caves, possibly the main reason why your bats are not staying in them

Lovely hiking experience. Most of the trail was clearly marked. Not a busy hike which was good.

What a fantastic little gem, absolutely amazing trails with stunning flora and views.Easily accessed from a dirt road in a standard vehicle.I arrived and was warmly greeted by the owner, she communicated all the necessary info needed. Was warned of apparant wood cutters, but didnt come across any.The cave is a definite must see....amazing to see a cave right here in mountains so close by.The trails with the different difficulty levels, an absolute must try for newbies through to the more avid hikers.Snacks and cold drinks are available for purchase, all in all, what a memorable experience...I wish you all well and look forward to being back soon!

Awesome hiking trails will definitely be back

Great trail but needs more markings, almost got lost

I had a fun time hiking today, very friendly stuff

A new hike that has lots of potential. Beautiful scenery and views. Was great to explore the caves along the hiking trail. Staff were friendly.Unfortunately there are some areas of the trail that require more signage and the trail has many areas that may be accessed by locals such as woodcutters and people that perform religious acts. I would recommend a clean up along the river. Pricing is a bit steep at R85 per adult in comparison to other hiking trails around Gauteng.I look forward to more routes that will be offered at this hiking venue.

Lovely well marked trails. Took up the red trail. Steep uphill ahead, not for the faint hearted but stop to take a look back and its worth every step. Avi is great, her knowledge of the trails comes in very handy, you know what to expect. Definitely worth visiting.

A very beautiful hike. Fairly extreme lots to see and enjoyable. Ill do it again!

We’ve started 2021 with a BANG by doing this awesome hike with friends. We did the Humbler trail of 4.2 kms. The best part was going into the big cave. A bit of a challenge for the faint hearted but for the brave hearted, a moment you can add to your bucket list! Remember to take a strong torch/flashlight. Our youngest hiker is 7yrs and the eldest 72yrs. Anyone can do this! Thank you Avi for your warm welcome and information sharing about the area and the hike.A bonus - My husband lost all his credit cards and id on the hike. Avi and her team did a lot effort to look for it, and kept us updated! Luckily a hiker picked it up the next day. Now that is going the ‘extra mile’ ! 😁

A memorable experience and beautiful hiking trail. Avi, Angie and Steven made for a hike that felt like retuning home.This was a challenging get rewarding hike with breathtaking views and serene surroundings. The cave - a bonus and a must see.A special place complete with special people.

I would definitely recommend this trail. Some parts were challenging but nothing you wont be able to manage. Very friendly and helpful staff, great views , the route was well marked and safe. the caves were an amazing experience I would definitely go again

The owners of the place are very very kind,made us fire to braai our meat while we were hiking The trails are well marked. The view of this place is beautiful. They have three caves on the site.An awesome day we had. Would recommend this place.

Great new Hiking trail, awesome caves to explore on the trail and some great terrain. Really fantastic owners..Avi is a gem and she really goes out her way to ensure you are having a great hike... even so much as to call and check up on you 😊 we thought that was really sweet. Definitely waiting for the extended trail to open up. See you guys soon!

A true hikers paradise. Natural and untouched. Will definately go again to explore the deep cave.

Excellent location for a day hike. The scenery is wonderful and even better is the host Avi and her Family. All round positive experience and will definitely be going back again.

The host (Avi) is suuuuuuuuuper friendly. In a space of 4 hours, she checked up on us twice. She literally when out of her way to make sure we were fun.I usually dont hike on the same trail twice, but Im certainly coming back here for my next 5 hikes.

Had high hopes for this hike as other spots are so crowded. Started out well with scenic views and a lovely walk next to the river. This was marred by being pelted with a rock from above, narrowly missing my head, by some unknown person, in the grotto just above the river, shortly after the two trails split. If it had hit its target, I fear serious injury would have occurred. Unfortunately we were also not informed of the difficulty level of this hike - we were told there is a steep incline, which did not accurately describe the severity and steep gradient of it, including the loose rocks on the trail. The trail is also close to a heavily populated informal settlement, with a lot of woodcutters accessing the trail, which could possibly lead to trouble.This listing should have a difficulty-level posting, to warn people that it is not an easy walk.The access road is also questionable, as our drivers cars bumper was ripped off due to it being quite low profile - we had been told the road is safe and many low cars had made it down that particular area.I feel that the R85 charged, is a bit much for a potentially unsafe trail.In all, we were disappointed by the lack of communication about abovementioned problems, and will not be back.

What an absolutely stunning place to walk. Trails are clearly marked. We went on the red trail to the top of the hill. The flora is incredible! Really beautiful aloe marlothi and the coral trees were in bloom. Then down to the cave! A proper sized cave with bats, you need to be reasonably fit to get in and out of the cave though. Avi was there to greet us and was so friendly and welcoming.

Probably one of the best hikes I’ve been on. It’s scenic and the host is fun, kind, and very accommodating. I definitely do recommend it!!!

Loved the Trail, the views and the whole atmosphere.Avi is a great host, the most free spirited human being. This is a place to go back to.

Great experience in the majestic yet mysterious caves ❤️😍

Loved this trail, the views are stunning and they have a few very cool looking caves on the trail as well. Very well priced and the owners are extremely welcoming.

The scenery is great, the trail awesome and our host was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth a visit and a re-run.

Wow, I have no words to describe the hike it was toooooooo fabulous and enjoyed every moment, its a must see hiking Trail.AVI and daughters u ladies Rock, thanx for caring and providing a friendly service.

Great hiking trail. Nice views, nature etc. The hosts are really nice poeple and very welcoming. A must for all.

Beautiful hike in the Schurverberg area outside of Earasmia. Avi and her girls have recently opened their farm to hikers at R85. 00pp along the Hennops River.

The views are amazing

Fantastic trails with epic trails and a great host.
