About the club
A community built on trails, fires and friendships
What started as a few friends looking for a reason to get outside on a Saturday is now 1,000+ hikers strong — and still growing every month.
Our story
More than just hiking
Pretoria Hiking Club exists to get people outside, moving and connected. We are a community built around fitness, adventure, friendships, travel and unforgettable experiences.
We host one to two hikes every month around Gauteng and the surrounding provinces — Magaliesberg, Hennops, the Cradle of Humankind, Suikerbosrand and the reserves right here in Pretoria. Every hike has a relaxed 5KM route and a tougher 10KM route so that the whole group can go out together and still choose their own challenge.
Beyond the monthly trails we run camping weekends, coastal getaways in Ballito and a yearly adventure week in Cape Town. Some members come for the fitness, some for the travel, most stay for the people.
Hikers 16+ and all experience levels are welcome. If you can walk 5KM, you can hike with us. Bring a friend or come alone — you will not stay a stranger for long.

Everyone is welcome
First hike or hundredth, 16 or 68 — there is a route and a pace for you. Nobody is ever left at the back on their own.
Properly organised
Trail leaders, sweepers, first aid, permits and a clear schedule. You pitch up, we handle the rest.
It's social first
The hike is the reason, the people are the point. Lunch, music and team activities are part of every event.
Adventure beyond the trail
Camping weekends, coastal getaways and trips to Cape Town keep the calendar interesting all year round.
