Bokmakierie
Trail Type: Day walk
Closest Town: Heidelberg
Description: The Bokmakiere Day Trail is a trail that has been laid out for those who only have a few hours to hike. There are two options, 10km or 17km. Do not forget to take water (I would suggest 2Lt) plus some form of foodstuff. A good pair of walking shoes is advisable, a hat and sunblock. Although there is normally plenty of people that you will meet along the trail, it is still advisable to walk the trail in a minimum group of three.
