Quad Bike Trips:
The Mac Mac Quad Trails is an exciting new adventure for quad bike riders that cover some “off the beaten” trails in the picturesque Mpumalanga Escarpment area. Most of these “off the beaten” trails are off limits to the general public.

Yet another exciting and awesome way to experience the "off the beaten track" beauty of the Mpumalanga Escarpment. Follow the upper Blyde River on a canoe. The start is close to the catchments area of the Blyde River and enjoys spectacular scenery.

I stayed for week a Zur Alte Mine and we had a wonderful time . Our host, Rainer and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Rainer always asked about our itinerary for the day and gave us suggestions and tips which were very welcome and useful. A super couple and very easy going. We had excellent breakfasts including cold cuts made with wild meats, a wide variety of cheeses, fresh fruit salad and yogurt, and eggs cooked as you wished. Not to mention fresh percolated coffee!!!! The accommodation in their wooden bungalows with a fire place were special and very comfortable. We hope to return next year in January!!!!!!!!!
