Guided Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail Tour

The world’s best-preserved example of the Archaean geological epoch is revealed through the Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail. It is so named because of the mountains it passes through. Examining these ancient rocks and the insights they offer is like taking a trip back in time to the origin of life on Earth. These are some of the oldest preserved rocks on the planet.

Along with exploring these old rocks, visitors to the Barberton Geotrail can get on-site geological interpretation thanks to information panels at each geosite. In addition to these geologically significant locations, there are several viewpoints that provide tourists with breath-taking vistas of the Makhonjwa Mountain range and its flora and fauna.
