Mahai Valley to The Crack via Gudu Falls

Route

13.4km – Loop – Hard

Savor this 13.4-km loop trail near Maluti A Phofung NU, Free State. It’s typically considered a challenging route, requiring an average of 5 hours and 10 minutes to complete. This trail is ideal for those who love hiking, running, and walking, offering a fulfilling outdoor experience.

This hike starts from Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge and gently descends into the Mahai valley going through forests and crossing rivers. There is a steep hike up to the spectacular Gudu falls through Gudu forest. This makes for a great picnic stop and swimming area if you can brave the cool mountain waters. Retrace your steps until you reach the sign for The Crack which is a steep ascent through a narrow gulley in the cliff-face that contains two wooden and one chain ladder to help ascend to the top. Once you reach the top of The Crack then it is a gentler uphill back to the lodge parking lot.
