Springbok Route

7,5km with 84m of climbing

This is the easiest of our routes and definitely one of our favourites. This route is good any time of the day and you will most likely see buck, warthog and Wildebeest.

Black Wildebeest Route

10,3km with 127m of climbing

Stunning loop that will make you work a bit half way through. The views are amazing and if you are lucky you will see a herd of Wildebeest running on the plain. Best to do this loop early morning or late afternoon.

Ribbok Route

9,1km with 159m of climbing

If you want to test yourself you can race this loop. The climb out of the valley is long. Not too steep and not too hard if you take it easy, but if you want to race it you will feel your lungs burn before you get to the top. Please beware of the water bars on the descent into the valley and look out for the sharp left turn to start the ride out of the valley. As mentioned earlier, the climb is long, but if you take your time and look around you will be rewarded with some amazing wildlife.

Hartebeest Route

11,7km with 236m of climbing

You start by doing the Ribbok in reverse. Halfway down the hill you will go left before dropping down a very steep 4×4 track (BEWARE) to the lowest point of the farm.

For the very adventurous … somewhere along this route one can find old bushman drawings. The climb back has found many people wanting … but we are sure you won’t be one of them.

Kudu Route

17,4km and 323m of climbing

This is a very beautiful loop and the best time of the day is early morning when it’s cool in the valley and the chance of seeing Kudu is the greatest. The descent into the valley is very steep and requires some focus. Once you are at the bottom you will ride along the river for a while passing the ruins of old gamekeepers cottages, before climbing back out to the escarpment. This is the most challenging of our stand-alone route options and will take you between 1h30 and 2h30 to complete.

The Farm Route

26,2km with 450m of climbing

If you want to do a big ride and combine all of the best Wolvekloof has to offer, this is your route.

You will start by doing the Ribbok loop in reverse, then you will join Kudu and finish off doing the Springbok loop. Beware of the very steep descent into the valley soon after joining Kudu. This is a big ride and you can expect to be out there for 3-4 hours. The best time of the day to ride “The Farm” is early morning.
