As part of the hiking trail fee, you will receive 1,5 litres of water for the duration of your hiking trail. Hiking the Richtersveld is a great way to start or end your day. There is no better way than to discover the Richtersveld on foot. Our dedicated Australian cattle dogs will join you and guide most of the way.
