THE STAIRCASE, only seen on the 52km and 39km routes.

This staircase signals the start of the dunefield section which is under 10km long but the dunes are massive and reach heights of 140m+ from bottom to top.

These dunes form part of the largest dune field in South Africa!

Believe it or not, come experience it with us on foot.
