Walks and hikes. There are several beautiful trails in the area which mainly start from the Monks Cowl Camp which is managed by Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife. Some of our personal favourites are Crystal Falls and the Spinx, Nandi Falls together with the Sterkspruit Falls, Gray’s Pass and the Blue Grotto.
