The Ouma's Kraal Hiking Trail is situated in the Sunnyside basin adjoining the Golden Gate National Park and the Northern edge of the Maluti range. The base camp is approximately 9 km from Clarens on the farm De Rots. It is set in a beautiful valley on the site of an erswhile farm yard with many old trees.
Hikers can collect extra firewood from the 'ou hout' trees that have died out.
The hut is well situated with a superb view of the Sunnyside Basin. On the first day hike, on leaving De Rots base camp, the trail goes up the valley. This short route up is marked in yellow. However for the experienced hiker the trail heads on towards the 'Mamkhanfu mountain', and goes behind George's Pimple or the 'Telletsane' high point. It follows the skyline and then joins up with the Angles Wing route.
