Forestiva Farm: A Nature Lover's Paradise

Joburg Admin / August 14, 2024

Forestiva Farm, nestled within the Rhenosterspruit Conservancy, offers a serene escape into the heart of nature. As part of the Crocodile River Reserve and the Magaliesberg Biosphere, this private nature reserve boasts diverse landscapes, including mountainous terrain, expansive grasslands, and the tranquil Hennops River.

Unplug and Recharge

For those seeking adventure and tranquility, Forestiva Farm provides an idyllic retreat. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors with hiking trails that wind through lush riverine forests and open grasslands. Encounter diverse wildlife, and savor breathtaking vistas of the Crocodile River Reserve and Hennops River Valley.

Hiking Adventures

Forestiva Farm is a hiker’s paradise. Explore a network of trails that wind through diverse landscapes, from the banks of the Hennops River to the rugged mountain terrain. Immerse yourself in nature as you encounter an array of flora and fauna. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual nature lover, there's a trail to suit every fitness level. Pack a picnic, grab your binoculars, and embark on an unforgettable adventure.

The Green Trail river walk (4kms) offers a unique opportunity to explore the final stretch of the Hennops River. Unfortunately, this once-pristine waterway is now the most polluted river in South Africa. Forestiva Farm is committed to reversing this trend and invites visitors to become part of the solution.

By collecting just one bag of rubbish during your hike, you can make a significant impact on the river's ecosystem. To show their appreciation for your efforts, they will happily refund your hiking fee.
