Giba Gorge Mountain Bike Park — Attraction in eThekwini Ward 7

Can be given 5 stars if some issues are rectified. We were hiking on Macintosh trail over the weekend. On a positive note, Customer service and cleanliness gets 102%..... Appearance and layout very good. Many spots for families to relax and have picnics, well layed out, clean and overall safe. Trails to any of the falls or view points are excellent , and well marked. On a negative side there is only 2 toilets yet the customer support is so huge. One female toilet and males are supposed to share the paraplegic toilet. Unfortunately with the crowd goin there anybody uses any toilet so you have to stand in line and this makes it very uncomfortable especially for women and kids. That was disappointing. Another negative issue was on the route back from Macintosh falls at one point there's too many signages confusing the user ( 2 green signs both marked same but in opposite directions. 1 sign should have a pic of coffee shop like how it's done at Macintosh falls ). Luckily I had my Google maps enabled and it does work without data enabled as the website states showing me the direction I needed to take back to the start point. Overall a lovely place but people who are sickly or elderly going with kids should do the trail as far as the enchanted dam 😊. The hike to Macintosh falls ,its for people who are physically fit with high adrenaline expectations and definitely not for the feint hearted 😉. An excellent spot for bikers and...

Bike and hiking trails are located in Gillettes. It's a little difficult to navigate and there are no public transport routes nearby so having a personal car would be advantageous.

The entry fee is affordable and you only have to pay at the entrance. There are multiple activities available within Giba Gorge such as Hiking, cycling, horse riding, camping, and a restaurant.

There are multiple hiking trails in the park, we decided to do the purple trail first because it's the shortest and has the option of continuing onto the Yellow trail which is a bit longer. Both trails lead to beautiful waterfalls. however, If I had to only pick one it would be the Yellow trail because the waterfall at end of the Yellow trail is majestic and a must-see. The trails are not too difficult to navigate with only a few difficult turns and 1 or 2 areas that were difficult to climb.

The staff at the start point were helpful and provided us with all the information we need as first-time hikers at Giba Gorge. The overall hiking experience was amazing from start to finish and I would recommend it for nature lovers who would like to get a little bit of a workout while enjoying the beautiful...
