Visible from afar as you exit the N10 at Gannavlakte, the Goudberg range rises above the reserve, hinting at secrets buried deep within. Once the site of a gold-mining effort, the mountain’s slopes now offer a different kind of treasure – breathtaking scenery, hidden wildlife, and echoes of a bygone era.

Your adventure begins with a 4×4 ascent in one of our Land Cruisers. As you climb, you’ll pass kudu-rich valleys and rugged ridgelines until you reach the plateau beneath Goudberg’s summit

From here, sweeping views stretch across Wilgekloof and down to the lodge at Roxburgh. The real adventure starts as you hike along the ridge, watching for shy wildlife between the boulders.

Eventually, nestled into the mountain’s flank, you’ll reach the entrance to the old goldmine. The air is still and cool, and the energy of past dreams hangs in the shadows. It’s the perfect spot to pause, enjoy a sundowner, and imagine the stories of those who once dug into the mountain in search of fortune. Come and explore this historic gold mine, whilst soaking in the beauty of our reserve.
