The Vlei ramble, less than 2km, takes visitors on an easy hike to a viewing hut on the vlei - a favourite spot for the many birders who enjoy the reserve. You can also see zebra, red hartbees, eland, impala, sable antelope and waterbok on the backdrop of the most amazing landscape from the hide.

I never new about this trail as the starting point is not marked. The starting point is in the same area as the end point of the Peglarae trail and care should be taken not to head of on the Peglarae trail. From the given starting point make sure that you spot the first yellow trail marker that will point you in the right direction. The trail was not well maintained when the cache was placed, so be sure to make use of the trail heads provided, otherwise you might end up on the wrong track.

The trail brings you to the most unexpected bridge. The cache hidden at the bridge is a 200ml container.
