Hiking
South Africa is a hikers paradise, there are far too many trails to list so we have chosen to highlight our favourite Cape Town hike. Two night, Three Day fully catered, guided and ported the Hoerikwaggo Trail over Table Mountain is a wonderful experience. The route begins at the Waterfront with an informative boat ride around the harbour and proceeds through the historical parts of the mother city to end the first day at the old “wash houses”, now converted into very comfortable accommodation.

Day 2 starts upward where the route heads up and onto Table Mountain via the Cable Car. (If the cable car is closed it is a walk up) The guides keep hikers informed about the vegetation and any other points of historical of cultural interest. The second night is at the national parks lodge, once again extremely comfortable and with great food.

Day 3 meanders around the reservoir area and after lunch one descends to Kirstenbosch gardens, one of the worlds most beautiful botanical gardens. Price from ZAR1900 per person sharing all inclusive.

Whale Watching
From July to September there are both Southern right and humpback whales to be seen of much of the South African Coast.
