We no longer allow day visiting at Mountain Sanctuary
Park.
A day hike will only be allowed with a guide present.
we will no lobger be allowing entrance for regular unsupervised day visiting.
once the guided hike is over, day visitors will be
escourted to reception and must vacate the reserve.
Sadly this has become nescesary due to the total lack
of respect shown by day visitors for the rules and regulations of the reserve as well as the strict
limitation of people we allow in. we now offer exclusive hiking for guests staying over in camp and
accomodation only
Persons wanting to visit residents of the reserve will
be allowed if space is available, and as long as they adhere to the gate times and book with the office in
advance.
guided hikes can be booked at the office at the information and pricing is as

How the guided hikes
work
The guide meets you at the office at the
allocated time, takes you on an amazing hike, stopping at the mountain pools where you are allowed to swim,
should you wish to do so. The guides are great, are not obtrusive, and will give you time to rest, swim etc.
they will meet your pace so as not to rush you or hold you back.
After the hike, he will guide you back to
the office for check out or to StasOmbs restaurant should you wish to book a table for lunch (please arrange
this at time of booking)
Please also note, that
guided hikes, once confirmed, are non-refundable and we cannot move the booked hike, to a different date
under any circumstances. should you be late for the hike, or if the hike is delayed for any reason, you will
either have the choice to forfeit the time or pay in for additional time (if
available).
