The Old Saying: “the journey is the destination” certainly applies to hiking up our iconic Mountain which overlooks the heart of the city. Those wishing to explore the mountain’s lush reserve by foot, will discover its true majesty off the beaten path and realize that it is well worth the effort. There are a number of hikes to choose from and your guide will talk you through the option best suited for the day.

Platteklip Gorge is the most frequented path up the mountain, but there is also Nature's Ravine, Kasteelport and Skeleton Gorge. Expect at least four hours to get this one under your belt - although this is dependent on your fitness and on the chosen hike of the day. For those not keen to hike up, choose to take the cable car instead and enjoy a 360' view of the city as you ascend. Once atop the mountain, we will enjoy a lighter hike to one of the scenic outlook spots such as Maclears Beacon. When you are ready, take the cable car back down, to explore the rest of the city.
