Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A fascinating guide to some of the most ancient rocks on Earth
nov. 2022
We came to see the famous 3.5 billion-year-old rocks visible in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, and were delighted with the explantations provided on the Makhonjwa Geotrail. There are numerous geosites with detailed - and accessible! - explanations of fascinating geological formations such as banded ironstone, pillow lavas, volcanic lapilli and many more. Several sites have detailed panoramas to help visitors interpret the landscape spread before them, which we all found a most interesting exercise. We rate the Geotrail as a five-star expeience!

Fascinating view of Earth history as well as magnificent scenery
apr. 2022
This self-guided road trail gives a great insight into the landscape and geology of a region that contains some of the oldest rocks on Earth. You don't need to be a geologist or a scientist to follow the explanations on the information boards along the trail or to appreciate the magnificent views.

A fun way to learn about geology and the mountains
des. 2021 • Venner
This is a magnificent corner of South Africa with beautiful scenery, a good road, and a range of landscapes. We were there on a lovely Summer’s day and we were thoroughly entertained and informed by the information boards at the stops on the geo trail. I really hope that UNESCO lists this as a world heritage site so that more people will visit and learn about our geological history.

Breath taking
jan. 2020 • Venner
If you are a Geography type person or just enjoy the epic beauty our planet has to offer its worth the trip. The road is in a fair to slighty crumbly unmaintained. I drive a polo sedan and it was fine but one needs to take caution of the steep climbs and decents and note the mist/fog moves in quickly. But having said that its still worth the trip for the day. The views are breath taking.

Absolutely excellent
sep. 2018
Whoever designed this and organised getting it done, built or whatever deserves a special mention.

Easy to see and follow, informative, interesting, and something you could relate to.

I'm no Geologist, but this was fascinating.

Very worth while stop for all ages.

Makhonjwa Magic
mai 2019 • Par
We did the 65km or so Greenstone Trail from Barberton to near the Swazi border. It is simply breathtaking. Not only for the stunning views and numerous informative stops but for the sheer pleasure of saturating oneself in billions of years of actual geographic history. One is taught to "read" the rocks along the way and discover the explosive birthing of this planet and it's life forms. And it is fascinating!
The Makhonjwa mountain range keeps you company as you traverse the basin of this geological rarity and raptors soar above the ridges.
The little journey will take most of the day so take a picnic and sit at one of the sites where tables and chairs perch invitingly overlooking the escarpment.
Our trip was marred only by the disrespect shown by other visitors. The first stop, although large litter bins are provided, was hideously scarred by the rampant litter thrown over the walls. Fortunately the majority of visitors appear to lose interest after this and the rest of the view sites escaped to a lesser degree. However, cigarette butts are liberally discarded at all view sites with the usual lazy insolence so often found in smokers. And the graffiti is equally distasteful.
This is a heritage we should all take pride in. It is the story of us and the world we inhabit and how closely related every living organism is.
We loved every minute of our escape into the past.

Geology, history, stunning scenery: a World Heritage site
apr. 2019 • Venner
This geotrail can be done with a guide or by yourself. It covers the 40 or so kilometers from Barberton to the Swaziland Bulembu border post, in some of the most scenic parts of this area. There are about 12 beautiful designed explanatory boards and more lay byes with stunning views. It covers the unique geology of the area, the history of gold mining and local culture. It has enough technical information to please adults and enough fun facts to captivate children. The middle geosite has a summary of all the geosites, with an eco toilet. Toilets are also available at the border post. Set aside most of the day to do it justice. Having a guide adds a great deal of information. Guidebooks are available as a souvenir or to accompany your trip.

The Makhonjwa Geotrail - Magical
feb. 2019 • Par
If you are even slightly curious about your surroundings the Makhonjwa Geotrail near Barberton is a MUST do

This is a unique experience. While you can buy the book from the information center in town and do it as a self drive, do yourself a favor and go with a guide to get the most out of a magical experience. Tony Ferrar was our guide - google him it is worth it. Although not a professional geologist, Tony was right up there in interpreting the story our earth was telling us in the rocks and geology of the area. What a story it is to tell, from ancient fossilized beaches to evidence of tsunamis and the effects of ancient life in shaping our land - really fascinating.

The trail is formally laid out with numerous view sites that you drive to. It is wheelchair /frail friendly. There are ample places to have a picnic, but I recommend that you picnic at the only view site with toilet facilities about 2/3 of the way along. There are also toilets at the end of the trail at the Bulembu Border post.

Once you have been on the trail, you will look around you with new understanding of our earth. It is very worth while doing as a self drive but it is magical with a knowledgeable guide

The Magic of Makhonjwa-a second visit is a must.
mar. 2019 • Par
Officially declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the 2nd of July 2018,this gem was unknown to us until our recent trip. A source describes it as an "Earth portrait 3.2-3.5 billion years ago". The Geotrial is a 38 km self-drive route, very well signposted and with fascinating information. The De Kaap Valley is breathtakingly beautiful.Even if this ancient, beautifully preserved Wonder, does not interest you,(actually impossible to imagine...), the totally unspoilt, sweeping valley, green as a gem and perfectly tranquil, makes for a magnificent scenic drive. Like us, you will be drawn to stop again and again, just to marvel at Perfect Nature.

We were pleasantly surprised and how well the Geo trail is displayed and explained. I do not think that it is advertised very well as alot of people including locals dont know about this trail.
