Gauteng Hikes & Walks

Gauteng is a province shrouded in the beauty of indigenous vegetation, mountains, rivers, and waterfalls, and this book explores the many hikes and walks that will help you discover them while giving you a more intimate look at the region. Tim Hartwright covers both the shorter walks in urban parks and rural areas, along with overnight trails such as Suikerbosrand. He explores the unique places that are right on every Gautenger's doorstep, including the Braamfontein Spruit, and the numerous private trails have blossomed in areas closer to the main metropolises of Gauteng. The book includes detailed descriptions of around 60 hiking and walking trails in Gauteng, including the history, geology, fauna, and flora of each area; a difficulty rating for each hike; brief descriptions on how to get to the route with GPS coordinates for starting points; comprehensive maps for each hike or walk; and security information, emergency numbers, and contact details.
