We made a short notice booking on Saturday for Sunday. Byron helped us and was very friendly on the phone. When we arrived on Sunday Jason together with his sister (the children of Byron) greeted us warmly. From the word go we felt welcome. We did a short 4.8km hike. We saw lots of giraffe and also some zebras even on this short hike. The pathways are well marked, each hike with a different colour so you will not get lost or on the wrong hike easily. Game drives available at R200pp..We will be back!

I enjoyed just being one with nature. Saw some giraffes and wildebeest. Great hiking spot.

Upon arrival someone will give you a quick briefing about what to expect from each of the four trails. Entrance costs R50 per person, and R25 per child under the age of ten. You can pay with cash or card.We did the 7,5 km route during our last visit, which is the longest trail with a lot of uphill sections. If you are very unfit, this route will be a bit challenging. But it is an interesting trail with beautiful scenery and nice views, and I would recommend it to anyone who is up for the challenge. Although there were other hikers, the trails were delightfully quiet, so there werent any large crowds and no one followed too closely on anyone elses heels.We didnt see much wildlife on this trail, only some kudus in the distance, so if youd like to see more wildlife, the 5 km route might be a better option. During our first visit, we saw zebras, kudus, wildebeests and giraffes on the 5 km route, which is flat but has one steep climb. It was nice and quiet during that visit too. There are two other trails to choose from as well - the 4,6 km route and the 3 km route. All the trails are well marked and maintained.You can also visit their restaurant or you can have your own picnic under one of the trees.We enjoyed both our visits and will definitely return.

We did the Yellow Trail (geology trail) it takes you to view the Cullinan mine. Booking is necessary. 😷On arriving the staff are very friendly and helpful.The paths have been cleared and are well marked. Perfect for trail running. It was very clean. I will definitely be coming back to do all the trails.

We did the 5km hike, easy route. There are more challenging routes available or the routes can be combined. Routes start and end at the same place.

Review №14

We attempted the 5km route but had to turn back as the were about 6 giraffes standing right on the route and refused to move. So as to not disturb nature, we turned back.The owners are very friendly and share information on arrival to help you make the hest choice in terms of the route. We will probably try another time. R50 entry fee.

A small quaint little place, perfect for hiking with the family.We took the route that promised the large Cullinan hole but seemed to have missed this 🤦🏻Make sure you take all your own refreshments theres nothing in site for purchasing.Peaceful and safe braai and picnic area for relaxing under the trees.

No idea how people rate a place that does not exist. There is NO telephone number for Windy Brow listed anywhere, no website, and the address Google maps give leads to a locked gate with a Private Property sign on it.. will change my review if we can locate it. Maybe it closed down ?

Good place for hiking.. there are 3 three did all of them.. place also has a pool.only down side part of the hike take you close to the fence where you see and hear cars.. but all in all worth it and closer to pretoria than many othersRecommended start the green trail(ecology trail) then continue on the yellow trail (geology) this will takebyou back to camp. Thereafter you can do the white trail.Saw game along the hike. Giraffe, koedoe, wildebeest to name a few

Just out of my car I found myself near a herd of giraffes, zebras and other gazelles. There are 3 hiking trails and as much for mountain biking. During my hike I met other animals: monkeys, wildebeest, .. It is imperative to call before because a code will be required to enter. I did not know it but luckily the manager sent me the code by SMS while I was in front of the portal. Be careful the park closes very early (16:00).
