On your bike
Percy Fyfe is a 3,000 ha nature reserve that is engaged in an ongoing roan antelope breeding programme. Cyclists can enjoy riding their bicycles between the Matobos-like formations on the 12 km tourist road or perhaps notch up the ride a little by additional cycling along some of the marked hiking trails (20 km). There’s plenty of indigenous hoofed game here, including buffalo. Get out there early for the best game-viewing opportunities.
Off your bike
You can hike when not on your bike and game drives are available.
