Wander Further with Scenic Hiking Trails at Monomotapa Village
Tue, 29 July 2025
Within the Entabeni Conservancy in Limpopo’s majestic Waterberg region, you will find yourself enamoured by the untamed beauty of Monomotapa Village. While the resort has always offered paths where guests could encounter wildlife in their natural habitat, we have now introduced dedicated hiking trails for a more immersive experience. These thoughtfully designed routes allow guests to connect more deeply with the surrounding landscape, bringing them closer to nature, peace and the spirit of adventure.
Get In Your Steps and Take in the Sights of Limpopo
The recently added hiking trails at Monomotapa Village invite you and your family to lace up your hiking shoes and embark on an adventure that’s as rejuvenating as it is scenic. Designed with a variety of fitness levels in mind, the trails range in length and difficulty, making them ideal for everyone from seasoned hikers to those simply seeking a leisurely walk in nature.
Guests can explore two new walking trails located on Legend Estate, both of which are also accessible to Monomotapa visitors. These self-guided trails are easy to follow and allow you to move at your own pace. The 4.5 km trail is ideal for families and less experienced hikers, offering a relaxed yet rewarding route through the bushveld. The longer 9 km trail is better suited to those looking for more of a challenge and is not recommended for smaller children.
Both trails begin right in front of Monomotapa Reception and wind through a rich and scenic stretch of natural terrain. With some luck, you might catch sight of kudu, impala or bushbuck moving quietly through the landscape.
Interpretive signage and optional guides enrich the experience, sharing insights into the unique plant life, wildlife and the rich ecological heritage of the Waterberg region. This special area is celebrated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Every step on these trails brings a deeper connection to the land and the stories it holds.
While you're out exploring, keep an eye on the treetops and skies. The surrounding vegetation and diverse habitats are home to over 400 bird species, making each hike a potential birdwatching adventure. You might spot Rock Martins darting through the air, an African Hawk Eagle soaring overhead, or even catch a glimpse of the elusive Crested Guineafowl. Carrying a pair of binoculars can turn your hike into a rewarding side quest filled with natural wonders.
