Descripton

To start either of the walks, leave the lodge towards the airstrip, on the left side of the first yellow airbag follow the car tracks down to the Zebra River.  Cross the dry river bed and immediately you get to the other bank there is a marker on to your right.  Leave the car track and follow the white arrows to your right onto the ridge opposite the lodge. The walk continues following along the path and arrows to the Zebra River for about 40/60 minutes.

After about 40/60 minutes you will come to a point where there are two marked cairns. The one on the right leads you down to the Zebra River and the walk continues back towards the lodge along the river-bed.  This is a good walk for bird watching in the summer and early morning as you can sit on the ridge and look down on the vegetation in the river.
