5K Walk, 11K and 15K Hikes Klipriviersberg Johannesburg – 2022 Sept 4
Intro
Happy Spring everyone! Spring in the Southern Hemisphere begins on the 23rd of September but the weather is so good this time of the year that everyone in South Africa considers the 1st of September as the (unofficial) beginning of Spring😎😁🌞.
We had 12 – 26C (54 – 79F) and sunny. Does it get any better?
Great meeting friends and making new friendships. Amazing weather, awesome people and a great workout in beautiful surrounds.
We have dry winters so the nature reserve was brown and dry. There had also been controlled fires (you can see burnt grassland on some of the photos) and the green is starting to appear in patches. Once the rain arrives in summer the nature reserve turns green.
Thank you to all who participated and a warm welcome to all the newcomers. Thank you to Brian Gilder, David Goodman, Harry Meyer, Sylvia Vermaak and Tony Sousa for hosting. Photos courtesy of Chantal Noble, Sylvia Vermaak and Tony Sousa.📷😎🌞🥾👒🌻🌲

Great hike, great people
It was my first time joining this hike. The host (Tony) was very welcoming and the group that did the 15km was friendly. The trail itself is clearly marked and a very good workout.
Can’t wait for the next first Sunday of the month!
Oh what a hike.
Sylvia and Shivesh were very fit before they got injured. Hiking with them, together with Tony was an awesome experience. 🌳🤸🏾♂️🏃🏻♀️
I’m so happy that they are recovering well.

Absolutely fantastic having you in our Group Teslar. The accidents were unfortunate but thank God thet are both on the road to full recovery. Looking forward to the next hike😎🥾🌳🌄🌻
Thank you for organising this amazing experience for us
Everything fell into place perfectly on Sunday. It din’t rain throughout the hike, while a cool breeze blew, cooling us beautifully as we made our way through the nature reserve.
It was a pleasant surprise to see how the landscape has changed from the brown and barren winter look to beautiful, green and lush vegetation.
One can feel the rejuvination and healing because of being in such natural surroundings.
I also enjoyed the company of people who took part in the hike.
I thoroughly enjoyed this hike. Thank you Tony, David and Jason for organising and hosting yet another awesome hike.😊✨️

Thank you so much for your comment Teslar and for the 5 Star rating. Yes, remarkable how good rain at the right time turns a brownish Nature Reserve into a fresh and lush green Nature Reserve. Klipriviersberg can be enjoyed throughout the year: each season has its beauty. Thanks for being one of the Organisers and thank you for contributing to the success of our hikes at Klippies🙏😎🥾🌞

Thank you very much for your review Mfundenhle Sequeira. Klipriviersberg is indeed a spectacular location and we are very fortunate having such helpful hosts. I am delighted you enjoyed the hike. Please do join us again👍👌🙏😎
Hiking celebrates life
Hiking becomes a way of life, putting one foot after the next a motto to traverse life’s obstacles. I enjoy the care and sense of inclusion Tony and Jason provide to all participants. My brother and I joined the 15 km group, as I love the red trail, but due to work obligations, we left earlier, completing just under 8km. As always, Kliprivier provides options for all levels of fitness with beautiful scenery. Meeting a variety of people makes the journey more interesting. Thank you for the photos 😃

To put one foot in front of the other, that is what one does on a hike and that indeed is how life is. Thank you so much for your kind words Elzette and please do join us whenever you can. Keep up the good work!
Experiential hike 🙂
Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Completed a 15km hike with Tony, Dave and Sylvia. What makes a great hike besides the beautiful scenery, are great hiking hosts. Tony and team are so warm and welcoming and very inclusive throughout the hike, thank you for the hospitality! Lovely hike, lovely people!
