IJG Trails has over 100 km of tracks blazing through the foothills of the Auas Mountains. A good mix of Jeep track and single track winds you over mountains and through the valleys. Some follow well-trodden cattle paths while others are purposefully cut and shaped for fun and adrenaline.
Outdoor Activities for the whole family!
At IJG Trails, you can blaze your trail on our network of trails. You and your family can go for a leisurely stroll, a more serious trail run or take the mountain bikes out for spin. With so many trails, you can even go for a proper hike. Your dogs will also love the wide open spaces and socializing with each other.
Alternatively, you can join us for some of our guided activities, from guided birding tours to beautiful nature walks that will introduce you to the wonders of Namibia’s fauna and flora. We also have an unforgettable sundowner experience with spectacular vistas from the mighty Auas Mountains.

IJG has been the title sponsor of IJG Trails since January 2016 and has all naming rights to Farm Windhoek. IJG Trails is located along the Auas Mountains, just south of Windhoek. It provides for outdoor activities for the whole family, with over 70 kilometers of trails suitable for Mountain Biking, Hiking, Trail Running, Dog Walking and Bird Watching. IJG sees the sponsorship an ideal opportunity for IJG to give back and invest in the community by making recreational areas such as Farm Windhoek safer and more accessible to the Windhoek community. This investment is part of IJG’s social contribution to make the livelihoods of Windhoek’s residents and visitors to the capital better off.
Security team
IJG Trails has a team of dedicated security guards patrolling area's perimeter as well as that of the neighbouring Avis Greenspace area. They control access at the various entry points and roam the perimeter along strategic areas.
Most of these men cycle approximately 50 km a day to and from work and then proceed to also patrol the area via bike and on foot.
Trail building team
The IJG Trails are constantly evolving and therefore have a dedicated, trained trail building team who hand build new trails as well as maintain and improve the existing trails and infrastructure. Every new trail takes months to construct and is only possible through the sweat and blisters of this dedicated team. They also assist in security patrols when the need arises.
