Plan your visit

good to know before you go

Run well and run safely

  • Wear good shoes, a hat and sunscreen.
  • Take water and snacks, and charge your phone.
  • Run in groups, not alone.
  • Stick to the marked trails.
  • Keep a safe distance from baboons and snakes.
  • Respect wild animals and do not feed them.

Summer is hot, so run early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Take care at river crossings, and do not cross after rain or when the water is flowing fast.

The trail overview lists emergency contacts.

After your run

Cool off at the hotel pool or the rock pool. Breakfast at Hugo Restaurant runs from 07h30 to 10h30.
