Aardvark has an extensive network of carefully designed mountain bike trails on both the Eastern and Western sides of the reserve. These trails cater for both beginners (blue) and advanced (red) riders. There are various routes and segments including our unique network of “green trails” that carefully follow animal tracks. Trails range from 5km to 65km and can be downloaded on your Garmin.

WILDFLOWERS
The Klein Karoo is famous for its succulents and Aardvark is no exception. Our succulents bloom from as early as July through spring and with good winter rains the reserve turns into a sea of colour. Special walks with a succulent expert can be arranged subject to his availability.
