Magoebaskloof Limpopo
Cold, wet, still 10kms from your destination. You're on foot and carrying a backpack filled with goodies you need to survive.....and about 15kgs of useless tinned food and ladies stuff from your girlfriend 'just in case', that got too heavy for her to carry! And this was too much on day 1 of a 5 day hike!
Something amazing had to happen to make this work, to make it worthwhile.....and it did, nature happened!
Oh my word, the rain created a mysterious feel about everything, and even though it was Slippery and chilly, it was completely surpassed by the beauty of nature....I was in awe! I was speechless! I was close to God.
So to try give an indication of the beauty, all the below pics were taken with a small cellphone, so it does no justice to the actual beauty....but I hope you enjoy nonetheless.
Also if you're a hiker, do yourself a favour and do this hike....its one of the most incredible hikes around.
Magoebaskloof - Limpopo
Looking up to this was otherworldly
The details on the 5 day hike are as follows:
Starting at Dokolewa Pools to Seepsteen Stables(9Km), Seepsteen Stables to Waterfall(13.8Km), Waterfall to Dokolewa Pools (18Km), Dokolewa Pools to Woodbush(9Km), Woodbush to De Hoek(11.7Km).
Some of those legs were tough (I think the weather didn't help).
Honestly, it's a tough hike, with some great scenery and natural landscapes.
Any nature lover will fall in love.
Cheers.
