🐴 THE FIRST EVER SUMMITX MOUNTAIN RUCK RACE! 🐴

Think you’ve got what it takes to carry the burden and beat the clock?

This isn’t just a hike. It’s a race against the clock — and yourself.

🎒 Carry a pack loaded with at least 20% of your body weight in animal feed
🥾 Conquer 10.5 km of mountain terrain
⏱️ Cross the finish line within the 5-hour cutoff
🏅 Earn your Mountain Ruck Race medal
🏆 And battle it out for great prizes for the winners!

But there’s more to your burden than a medal…

Every kilogram of feed carried will be donated after the race to The Blue Donkey Animal Sanctuary, helping feed animals in need. 🫏❤️

Carry the weight. Beat the clock. Feed a beast.

Are you up for the challenge?

The trail that started it all…

The one. The only. Fanie Botha. ⛰️

But we do it differently.

Take this iconic trail, add four summits, big elevation, rugged terrain and a few days in the mountains — and you get a traverse unlike any other in Mpumalanga.

It’s tough. It’s wild. And it is oh-so-rewarding.

🔥 2027 bookings are OPEN — and places are already going fast.

Not ready to commit to the full traverse?

In just 3 weeks, we’re tackling our Fanie Botha Lite — a taste of the adventure without the full commitment. And yes, we still have space!

📲 Book now: WhatsApp 083 501 7662

SummitX — don’t just hike it. Own it.

One of the hidden waterfalls along the Golden Escarpment Traverse. 💦

A welcome relief after the demanding climb of Mount Anderson — cool water, quiet wilderness and a chance to catch your breath before the trail calls again.

Some rewards aren’t waiting at the summit. Sometimes, they’re hidden along the way.

THREE SUMMITS. ONE EPIC WEEKEND. 🇸🇿

Come for the adventure, stay for the memories.

Climb three incredible summits, explore hidden mountain trails, encounter wildlife at Mlilwane, swap stories around the campfire and head out to Malandela's when the day's adventure is done.

Adventure. Accomplishment. Wildlife. Good food. Great company. Bonfires. And a whole lot of fun.

This isn't a weekend you'll want to spend watching from your phone.
17–18 OCTOBER.

Your mountains are waiting.

Pack your boots. Bring your sense of adventure.

And come experience Eswatini with us.

Some places are worth suffering for.

Some places are worth getting up at 5am for.

Some places make you forget that your legs hurt.

The Golden Escarpment is one of them.

2–4 October 2026

One weekend. One wild piece of the Great Escarpment.

Are you coming?

⛰️ GOLDEN ESCARPMENT LITE — Fanie Botha Trail

2–4 October 2026

Missed out on the Golden Escarpment Full Traverse via Fanie Botha in July?

Here’s your second chance.

Experience the legendary Fanie Botha Trail and take on the summit of the formidable Mount Anderson — but in a lighter, more relaxed version of the full traverse.

And October brings a whole new experience to the mountains. 🌿☀️

With summer knocking at the door, the days are longer and warmer, giving you more time to slow down, soak up the scenery and truly enjoy the trail.

There will be plenty of opportunities to cool off in mountain pools, splash beneath waterfalls and linger in the wilderness before continuing along the Escarpment.
This isn't the full traverse.

But it still delivers the mountains, the challenge, the waterfalls and the views that make the Golden Escarpment unforgettable.
