‘Milorho’ is the traditional Tsonga word for ‘dreams’ or ‘dreamer’. If you love the peace and tranquillity of nature and mountainous areas then you are indeed in for a treat as a nature lover, and our “place of dreams” is definitely for you.
Milorho Lodge is nestled comfortably on the northern slopes of the Magaliesburg mountains, which happens to be the second oldest mountain range in the world. The hikes are notable for passing through a gorge, rock pools, and waterfalls. The farm contains Iron Age structures as well as an abundance of flora and fauna. The rock formations are incredible. Hiking through the mountains is the only way to truly experience the geology, history, flora, and fauna of the Magaliesberg. The GREENFLAG ACCREDITED hikes are notable for passing through a gorge, rock pools, and waterfalls. And cooling off in the rock pools is an absolute bonus!
There is a 12.4 km route available, which can be shortened to 8 km if you choose the escape route. The brown 4.7 km trail is also an option if you want to take it slow.
