Nature Hikes and Walk Excursions

Here at Gantouw Tours and Excursions we make use of the easy categories Ambles, Rambles and Scrambles to easily group our activities for ease of reference. We also make use of the trail grading system of THE TRAILS CLUB OF SOUTH AFRICA and have incorporated it into these categories. Hikes and Walks are offered on a half day, full day and overnight basis and can be booked as such. All our hikes and walks are educational, and we pride ourselves in interpretations of the natural environment enroute each excursion.
