Perfect 4 hr trail. 3 hrs maybe if you never stop for a break. And yes, it is true that you get lost! The map is hard to read. But that’s part of the fun. You walk all the time on the high plateau, so you always see all the landmarks. As other have said, in the end you just walk back to the starting point, across the veld.
Technically it’s an easy trail. Challenges are the heat, the sun, and mud. In summer you need 2l of water per person - they sell at the gate, but stock is limited. If you get lost too much, it might get a bit more difficult to work your way up over boulders again, but still nothing hectic.
Suggest to bring a GPS app with a basic topographic map, and which records your progress as a breadcrumb trail (no, Google Maps doesn’t do that). Then you should be fine. You will likely not meet any other people on the trail.
Unfortunately, the other facilities at the camp (like boating, pool) are not well maintained. But the trail is pristine clean and stunning. Your own private God’s Window.

Very easy and beautiful trail. You will have to pay an entrance fee of 15 R. at the gate of the holiday resort. There you get a lousy map witch you should follow strictly. The path is not hard to find but at every crossing there are many paths you could follow, so keep the map save! It's very easy to take the wrong path.

Trail is incredibly beautiful but we got lost several times as the map and info that were given to us in the Resort reception wasn't clear at all! We were 4 people trying to look for the hiking marks. In the end we got so lost that we had to find our own way in the bushy (and amazing by the way) plains.
