The aim of our hiking club is to take children from Nyanga and surrounding townships on a Sunday hike once every month, to experience the beauty of our Peninsula, and the camaraderie of being out in nature together.

Each hike takes place on the 2nd Sunday of every month, weather permitting.

Community leader Lulama organises the children to join & coordinates the transport. Our guides lead the hikes whilst ensuring proper hiking safety, etiquette & protocols are observed. Justin has been leading our hike and we would love to invite a few more avid hikers to join our team

Coordinator Dani, members of our team & volunteer hikers spread out throughout the group, helping to round up and support the kids and making sure everyone is hydrated while having a great time. Dani & 1 other hiker are assigned to sweep (remain last) – making sure no one is left behind. 

We have divided our young hikers into two groups: older children (14-18 years) and younger children (8-13 years). We have a core group of about 60 – 70 kids in each age group that are our regular members. We alternate between taking the younger kids on an easy hike and the older kids on a more challenging one.

Our team works together to get donations of water, fruit, sweet treats, sandwiches and juices to energise the kids along the way.
