The Tierkloof hike is in the Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, a small but well run reserve, with limited accommodation on the trail, the huts only sleeping 8 guests at a time. This easy but beautiful hike can easily be added more often to the program.
The trail is well marked with plenty of signs and a clear path, it goes up the Tierkloof which is filled with fabulous cliff faces, including a small overhang cave , the kloof is a haven of flowers and bird life.
The kloof section is 7km after which the trail splits – a circular up to the top and Oukraal huts and a down return back to the kloof. The trail tends to be quite short at 14km and 12 return but this gives you ample time to enjoy the scenery.
Oukraal has 4 small huts with 2 beds in each with a communal small kitchen area in the middle.
