What to do at Mukuvisi Woodlands

Enjoy a lovely wander around our large Intepretive Area: Enjoy our resident wildlife; blue duikers, crocodiles, tortoises, the Wildfowl Pond and more.
Then head over to our Game Viewing Platform. Sit quietly there and enjoy the lovely view and the wildlife for as long as you like.

The animals are usually fed near the platform with game cubes at 2pm. This is an especially good time to see a range of our resident species.

Game Viewing

The Woodlands marked Trails - Walk, Run or Cycle, any day of the week Need a breath of fresh air? Come forest bathing and de-stress. Soak up nature's calming influence. Enjoy a healthy walk, run or mountain bike ride through the Mukuvisi Woodlands. The scenery is lovely and you may spot some game too! You’ll certainly see some birds along your way. The Woodlands Trails are on clearly marked routes, for you to enjoy by walking, running, strolling or on your mountain bike. This initiative has greatly boosted visitor numbers and made even more people aware of the beauty and tranquillity offered by a visit here. You can bring your dogs, as long as they are on leads and controllable. This is especially popular at weekends. Come and enjoy this regularly, meet new friends and old, get some exercise with the family in a lovely scenic environment, then enjoy breakfast in our Coffee Shop - bacon and egg rolls, coffee and other items from 7am onwards – hot, fresh and quick! The Trails range from 3km to 10km. If you join as Members, Individual and Family categories are available, and you can walk any time the Woodlands are open (8 am to 5 pm daily) at no further charge. Then relax and enjoy some game viewing from our Platform! Food is put out for the animals at around 2pm on weekends – see eland, zebra, giraffe and impala; guinea fowl, Egyptian geese, grey heron and more. When it’s hot, make sure you wear a hat and sunscreen and take some water with you. You can buy bottled water at the Woodlands before you start. The trails take you near the bird hide and small dam and then into the wild game area, so ensure your dogs are well leashed. Anyone letting their dog off the lead in the wild game area may be banned from The Woodlands. Having dogs leashed is for their own protection from wildlife, as well as to prevent them from disturbing and chasing the wild animals.

The Mukuvisi Market Usually held on the first Sunday of each Month,and entry is free (please check our Home and Events Pages to be sure). Come and browse our stands - and enjoy the Woodlands Trails, Viewing Platform and Coffee Shop, too.
Guided Horseback Safaris A brilliant way to enjoy the game! You can get quite close to the animals without startling them.

Guided Walks Our Guides are very knowledgeable and will add much to your enjoyment of our woodlands and the diverse birds, plant and animal species who live there.
School Visits Educational visits are very popular indeed, with all schools from nursery to junior to senior, and in fact beyond, to college level too! A superb setting for environmental learning, and so close to the City!

Coffee Shop
	The Coffee Shop is open all day - have breakfast, lunch, tea or a light snack. This is a popular spot at weekends, after people have run, walked or cycled the trails, to grab a coffee and a bite of breakfast; or have lunch, then head over to the Viewing Platform to see the animals as they gather at 2pm Saturdays and Sundays at the waterhole for some game cubes.
