About

Baakens Valley is a green corridor running roughly 23 kilometres from Gqeberha's harbour out into the surrounding suburbs, threading through forested kloofs and past small streams. A dense network of hiking and mountain biking trails makes it a favourite for walkers, runners and mountain bikers alike. Dogs are welcome on a leash throughout the reserve, and regular visitors suggest walking in a group on quieter stretches for extra peace of mind.
