Grey days perfect for hiking

Grey days might be putting a damper on your spirits, but it’s perfect weather for hiking Melville Koppies’ trails.

You can choose from a 5km trail, a 3km heritage trail or just self-guide yourselves along the numerous paths that criss-cross the 55-hectare nature reserve and heritage site.

Visit Melville Koppies Central (Nature Reserve and Heritage Site) every Sunday from 08:00 to 11:30 (closed on December 26).

There is no need to pre-book. Cost is R80 for adults and R40 for children and season tickets of R500 per adult per year is also available. These are not transferable.
