The Buffel Route is our flagship Route.
Covering our entire trail system along the mountain range in the park, it starts out tough but gives some easier miles in the third quarter of the Route along the canal and river trails. The Route should not be judged by the distance as it is slow going and takes the average rider 3 to 4 hours to complete.
The Route has 4 major climbs: “Kwagga climb”; “Concrete hill”; “Spook Bult” and “Ockies climb”. All of the downhills are fun but still for the more seasoned mountain biker. If you are in doubt, rather opt for one of our easier routes. Downhills featured: Rocks2Crocks; Buffel View; Maiyak / A-line; Njala Drop and Supertube
Enjoy!
