We invite you to enjoy our varied activities. You will find night skies that are an astronomer's dream, an abundant bird life and numerous walking trails taking you wherever your sense of adventure may lead. In addition to being an active farm where children can return to nature, we are also the perfect gateway to many of the other fantastic attractions located within the region.
Meijer's Rust Activities include:
Our hiking trails start in Meiringspoort and take you to the top of the Swartberg Mountain with 360ยบ views that will take your breath away. They can lead to natural, ancient waterfalls, pools and rare San rock art.
Mountain bike trails have an elevation level of 500m and are only recommended for the seriously fit. Check with us before you attempt these and we will provide you with the proper documentation and maps.
There are over 180 species of birds recorded on the farm. To make the most of your visit we can advise you on the best trails. Attached is a checklist that you can print to use to determine which birds you have seen.
The Little Karoo has the second largest plant biome on the planet, only to be exceeded by the tropics. There are many types of fynbos and cacti, making this area a plant lover's paradise. It is where the geranium was originally discovered in the mid 1800's and taken to London's Kew Gardens for domestication. We recommend that you buy a copy of the book "Field Guide to Fynbos" by John Manning. It will help you identify the plants you discover here.
