[ OVERVIEW ]
On your bike:
The Kromdraai Conservancy is part of the broader Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.
This is a moderate 3km singletrack circuit through indigenous vegetation lining the Crocodile River. Zwartkop Mountain, a prominent landmark in the area, is an impressive backdrop to this little ride with its sheer rock faces rising up from the river and a proliferation of aloes upon its friendlier slopes. If you would like to extend your ride, the dirt road accessing the hotel provides a challenging climb all the way up to Beyers Naudé, and links to the 27km Kromdraai Loop discussed in the Cradle of Humankind site.
