Hogsback Hiking

A big draw for Hogsback is the number of hiking trails in the area. They’ll lead you through deep rainforests to tumbling waterfalls. They’ll lead you up sheer edges to look out from the neighboring peaks. For our first full day here at Sunette’s parents, we decided to hit a trail that takes you by the Madonna and Child Falls, SwallowTail Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Great Tree.
It’s not a very long hike, about 5km or roughly 3.5 miles. However, you really get to see some amazing forests and the waterfalls don’t disappoint.
Here are a few shots from the hike.

After we got back and ate a little we decided to hop in the 4×4 and cruise to as close to Hog 1 as we could get. We’re trying to find the best route from which to make our assault in the next few days. Here’s a shot as we were heading up the trail.

Tomorrow I think we’re gonna attempt the summit for some shots. On Friday we’re heading to a game reserve then Sunette and I will head to Addo (Ah-dew) Elephant park, another game reserve that has the big 8. Hopefully we’ll be able to see a few elephants. I’m getting the camera all geared up.
