Our signature hike through the Magaliesberg mountain range, with rock pools, ridge views and a sunrise start.
A free community hike in Pretoria's oldest game reserve. Zebra, giraffe and a 360° view over the city.
A beginner-friendly favourite just outside Centurion — river crossings, cable car and shaded forest paths.
No hiking boots needed. An easy 5KM stroll, a big braai and sundowners with the whole club.
Head torches on for a full-moon night hike, then a campfire, a braai and a night under the stars.
Three days in the Northern Berg — amphitheatre views, waterfalls, campfires and the best hiking in the country.
Take the 5KM route on any of our monthly hikes. It is the easiest way in — friendly pace, trail leader at the back and nobody gets left behind.

What to bring
About the club
Pretoria Hiking Club started with a handful of friends looking for a reason to get outside on a Saturday. Today we are 1,000+ hikers strong, built around fitness, adventure, friendships, travel and the kind of experiences you talk about for years.
We keep it simple: every event has a relaxed 5KM route and a tougher 10KM route, so you choose the day you want. Come alone, come with friends, come with family — you will leave with new people in your contact list.
All ages and all experience levels are welcome. If you can walk 5KM, you can hike with us. Our trail leaders set the pace, our sweepers make sure nobody is alone at the back, and the social afterwards is where the club really happens.
The community
Every trail we walk ends the same way — new faces, shared photos and plans for the next one. This is what keeps 1,000+ hikers coming back.
“I joined on my own for a 5KM hike and left with a WhatsApp group full of new friends. Two years later I have not missed a month.”

Member since 2023
“The Drakensberg weekend was the best trip I have ever done. Properly organised, and the crew makes it feel like a road trip with old friends.”
Thabo M.
10KM route regular
“I was worried about being the slowest. There is always a trail leader at the back and nobody made me feel rushed. Now I do the 10KM.”
