Welcome to Sole Mates Hiking Group

If you love fresh air, good company, and trails that make you forget about inboxes and traffic lights — you’re in the right place.

Sole Mates runs a wide variety of hikes thanks to a crew of dedicated volunteers who somehow manage to stay organised and cheerful before sunrise. We’re a Non-Profit Company, but we like to think of ourselves as a well-oiled adventure machine.

Join us for:

• a quick city escape,

• a suburban wander around Gauteng, or

• a full-on overnight adventure in a neighbouring province —

and you’ll see why hikers keep coming back. Our volunteer directors put together hikes that are fun, well-run, affordable, and occasionally life-changing (in the good way, not the “I lost my shoe to a river” way).

Our secret?
A solid structure, clear policies, and processes that keep chaos at bay and help our volunteers stay sane. We follow them strictly — not because we’re boring, but because it keeps things running smoothly and lets us focus on what matters: great hikes with great people.

To keep the wheels turning and the adventures flowing, please take a moment to get familiar with our Terms & Conditions, Policies, Processes, and General Information in the menus above.

Now lace up — the trail is calling.
