PONGOLA EXPRESS TO ALOE KAYA CAMP LOOP (day 1)

Distance: ±15km

This trail can start from either Pongola Express or Aloe Kaya camp and is a clockwise hike that traverses the edge of the Skurwerand before plunging down the valley through the ‘Cathedral’ and along the river and past the Mac Falls amongst many others.
Starting at the Pongola you take Day 1 of the Num-num Trail The Bergbas Roete to Aloe Kaya from Aloe Kaya you follow the Escarpment trail till the junction at the road where you join the Num-num Trail Day 4 The Pompon Way. You can then choose to take the tar road back to the Pongola Express or go a little further and take the link back to the Pongola. Those that are very fit can choose to go even further and join The Num-num Day 5 The Kokoboom Pad that is an extra 4km at the next link.

​

HELL’S BELLS TRAIL (day 2)

Distance: ±8.4km… we strongly recommend taking the short cut, this is still a good 4 hour walk.

​

Descending from Aloe Kaya camp this 8.4km trail descends the magnificent Hell’s Kloof, through a pristine section of yellow wood forest filled with bird life, past secret and special places. The trail drops 400 metres through a kaleidoscope of terrain down to the fish eagle dam with a moderately difficult ascent back to base.
