Please PRE-BOOK to avoid disappointment.On-site Guided Experiences
Led by professional field guides, these experiences bring the farm, reserve and surrounding landscape to life - from interpretive nature walks to exhilarating game encounters. Please allow yourself enough time to enjoy the lodge surroundings and facilities when making your reservation. Recommended minimum stay is 3 nights.
Nature Walk
Trails on the farm can be arranged with a guide free of charge. This is a particularly great activity for families with young children that are not permitted to join the Game Walk in the reserve. It is an interpretive experience, that focuses on the small things – plants, insects, tracking & sometimes even game spotting.
Mountain Bike Rides
Exhilarating mountain bike trails (2km – 20km) on the farm snake through the hills, following narrow single tracks. For casual riders a gentle free-wheel down to the village is also memorable. Helmets & gloves are provided. Price is for the bike for the day. No extra charge for a Guide. (R740 per person – 2026) (R815 per person – 2027)
Game Walks
Bush walks in the neighbouring Spioenkop Game Reserve are more strenuous than the Nature Trails on the farm, as the route does not follow a set trail. Uneven, rocky, hilly terrain will be encountered and walks may last between 1.5 – 3 hours, depending on where the game is at the time. Maximum number of people is 8. Minimum charge is 2 persons. Unfortunately, no children under 12 years permitted.(2026 - R865 pp) (2027 - R950 pp)
Guided Horse Trail Riding
Trail Rides are arranged to suit the experience level of the riders. Inexperienced rides are approximately 30 – 45 minutes, while experienced rides 60 – 90 minutes. English-style saddles with snaffle bridles are used. Rides are taken on a working cattle farm, adjacent to the game reserve, where game may be seen from time to time. Hard helmets are provided & compulsory. All ages allowed. Maximum weight limit 90kg. (2026 - R1025 pp) (2027 - R1125 pp)
Guided Artillery Battlefield Hiking Trail
This is a fantastic battlefield option for families with children, since it involves a gentle stroll (5 km) to the summit of Three Tree Hill, which was captured on the 20th January 1900 and became General Warren's headquarters. A shorter version (approximately 2 hours) of the Spioenkop Tour. Spectacular views of Spioenkop from the firing positions of the British. (2027 - R825 pp) (2026 - R750 pp) Children under 18 half price.
Hambrook Village Excursion
Step beyond the farm and into the heart of the local community on this meaningful and eye-opening excursion to Hambrook Village, just 8km from Three Tree Hill. Guided by a knowledgeable member of the Three Trees team, this experience offers guests a rare opportunity to engage with everyday rural life in KwaZulu-Natal in a way that is genuine, respectful and deeply human.
You’ll gain insight into the rhythms, challenges and joys of community life. Visit the local pre-school (during school term time), where laughter and learning fill the day, and meet some of the educators and children who form the foundation of the village’s future.
You’ll also be welcomed into a local home, offering a personal glimpse into modern Zulu daily life - from traditional practices and family structures to shared stories and conversations. These moments of connection are guided with sensitivity and care, ensuring that interactions are mutually enriching and respectful.
This excursion is not about observation from a distance, but about meaningful exchange - an opportunity to broaden perspectives, foster understanding and deepen your appreciation of our land, its people and the interconnectedness of life in this part of South Africa. Can be done by mountain bike or vehicle. Approx 4/2 hours respectively. (2026 - R750 pp) (2027 - R815 pp) Children under 18 years half price.
