THINGS TO DO

Get the gold rush experience

Join Dusty Tracks for a variety of outdoor adventures. There are historical hiking trails in Mountainlands Nature Reserve, scenic drives, gold panning, mine tours and trips to the Kruger Park and the Kingdom of eSwatini.

“Our all-in-one, full-day trip is the most popular,” owner Wynand Engelbrecht says. “We drive 50 km through Mountainlands, where the remains of old mining towns can be seen. We drive through 14 streams, visit Eureka City, the Golden Quarry, Sheba Mine, and we do gold panning in the Suidkaap River at Digger’s Retreat Hotel. It is the entire gold rush experience.”

Cost: R795 per person (minimum four people) for the full-day tour, which lasts six to seven hours.
