Maluti Mountains · Free State, South Africa
Glen Lyon sits in the sandstone foothills between Clarens and Fouriesburg — guided enduro trails on one side of the farm, hiking, fly fishing, 4×4 and cave-camping adventures on the other. Every route is ridden or walked by someone who knows it, in country that doesn't forgive guessing.
Riding
Flowing single-track to genuinely technical enduro terrain across the sandstone foothills — guided trail rides, coaching, a timed Super Enduro course and a flat-track oval. Four ways to ride, built for first-timers through to riders chasing their limit.
Adventures
Ridgeline hikes, private fly water, a 4×4 route to rock art nobody else gets shown, cave camps under sandstone overhangs and photo safaris across the Lesotho border — the slower side of the same mountain.
The Terrain
The Maluti Mountains sit in the Free State, just north of the Lesotho border — banded sandstone country that runs from flowing, open single-track to rock steps and off-camber ledges that eat tyres. It's grippy dry and treacherous wet, so every guided ride goes out with someone who knows which line to pick when the weather turns.
Guided Trails cover the full range, from a first day out to a demanding week. Training runs in a dedicated area below the farm for riders who want to fix technique before they take it onto the mountain. Super Enduro tightens the same terrain into a marshalled, timed course for riders who already know their way around a bike, and Flat Track trades rock for a graded, hard-packed oval built purely for throttle control and confidence.
