Marloth is all about hiking and swimming, birding and botanizing (that's nature nerd-speak for checking out the blommetjiesin detail). We would have loved to do the Swellendam Trail, as this 4 to 5-day route is probably the best way to immerse oneself in the reserve. The route follows a circular path starting and ending at the entrance.
