IJG Trails @ Farm Windhoek Mountain Biking Trails

IJG Trails have over 70km of tracks blazing through the foothills of the Auas Mountain chain. A good mix of Jeep track and single track winds you over mountains and through the valleys. Some follow well-trodden cattle paths while others are purposefully cut and shaped for fun and adrenaline.

The network of fairly easy Jeep track trails spans the property and provides a framework from which one can access the many single track trails, and move from the one to the other.

About Farm Windhoek

Windhoek Townlands Commonage 2, also known as ‘Farm Windhoek’, forms part of municipal townlands of the City of Windhoek. The Farm is currently leased as farm-land. However, being situated adjacent to residential areas, it is increasingly used for recreational activities by the residents of Windhoek even though the majority of users do not have official permission from the leaseholder.

‘Farm Windhoek Adventure Tourism cc’ has been created for Farm Windhoek to facilitate the management of the control of movement on the farm in such a way to ensure responsible and sustainable use for both the visitors as well as the farming enterprise.

IJG has been the title sponsor of IJG Trails since January 2016 and has all naming rights to Farm Windhoek. IJG Trails is located along the Auas Mountains, just south of Windhoek. It provides for outdoor activities for the whole family, with over 70 kilometers of trails suitable for Mountain Biking, Hiking, Trail Running, Dog Walking and Bird Watching. IJG sees the sponsorship an ideal opportunity for IJG to give back and invest in the community by making recreational areas such as Farm Windhoek safer and more accessible to the Windhoek community. This investment is part of IJG’s contribution to make the livelihoods of Windhoek’s residents and visitors to the capital better off.

The maintenance, development and security of IJG Trails is only possible through the support of its Visitors, Members and Sponsors. Annually almost 8 000 hrs are spent on trail building and maintenance, whilst over 20 000 hrs are spent patrolling and securing the area. The passion and dedication of our staff is relentless and they will continue their endeavours to make IJG Trails the best it can be.
