India Venster Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Steep climb in the beginning. Beautiful views of the cable cars. Not an easy route but worth the challenge. If you are afraid of heights, don't do this hike.

LION’S HEAD CAPE TOWN image

LION’S HEAD CAPE TOWN
Hiking area
👍👍 Love this trail. Did it a couple of times now and really enjoy hiking up especially the upper part where you rather "climb". Running down is super fun so with a normal fitness it takes 45min up and running down half the time. You can buy some water/drinks at the truck parked on the bottom in the par...

Newlands Forest Hiking Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 A very popular walk in Cape Town. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility. Best time to go is between 09h00 and 16h00. Earlier or later we recommend going in groups more than 5. The trails are moderate if you keep to the lower parts and not go up the...

Skeleton Gorge Waterfall image

Skeleton Gorge Waterfall
Hiking area
👍👍 Probably one of the best hikes i've ever done and in my opinion its the best way to get up the mountain to start hiking towards Table Mountain. About 95% of this trail is shaded. There's so much variety with the terrain. You start on gravel and then enter a lush forest. You'll have the sound of a fl...

Myburgh's Waterfall Ravine

Cape Point Nature Reserve
National park
👍👍 An area of outstanding Natural Beauty. A must see, beautiful open area for hikes, a lovely drive, the beaches, wildlife. The views from Cape Point Lighthouse are extremly beautiful. It was very windy which was fun as the view point from the lighthouse is at the highest point. You can get the funicul...

Platteklip Gorge Starting Point
Hiking area
👍👍 One of South Africa’s most done routes (with Lion’s Head as its competitor). I suggest that this 7 wonder route be a bucket list route. Some people start early and they run it up and down before sunrise. However, I believe that if you take it nice and slow, even an unfit person can enjoy this scenic...

The Pipe Track
Hiking area
👍👍 The Pipetrack is an easy hike / trail run that's populated on weekends with families, trail runners and dog owners. If you are keen to work up a sweat, there are about 3 or 4 routes up to Table Mountain from the Pipetrack. Kasteelpoort is probably the most popular. I enjoy Wood Ravine which is foun...

Cecilia, Table Mountain image

Cecilia, Table Mountain
Hiking area
👍👍 Cecelia forest has many routes, some circular, some not. The nature reserve welcomes dogs, trail runners and mountain bike users. The path that was chosen started off steep and the path back was steep as well. The hike was a total of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Totally worth it, as we got to have a p...

👍👍 I found this to be one of the more difficult hikes but the views from the peak is incredible! It takes about 2 hours to the peak. I recommend bringing a hiking stick to make the hike easier.

King's Blockhouse
Historical place
👍👍 I love running from Newlands to the blockhouse. Once you're up there it gives you a beautiful view and if you run further you're able to go to the Woodstock Cave and further you'd find tafelberg road where you can exit onto from the mountain .

Woodstock Cave
Hiking area
👍👍 Woodstock Cave is one of the easiest hikes around Cape Town. Rhodes was closed as we arrived at 8am, but we decided to start from Devil's Peak. We took the contour path, catching the first bit of waterfalls along the way. Fantastic views as always. The cave is clean at the moment. It's easy and for...
