Hiking in South Africa

Explore Table Mountain on foot: it’s one of the most iconic mountains on earth. Ascend its majestic slopes with only your thoughts and the stunning scenery to concern you.

Our guided, ‘white tablecloth’ three-day trail offers luxurious accommodation and mouth-watering meals. It caters for both culture vultures and nature lovers and includes many of Cape Town’s major tourist attractions: a cultural walk through the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and city centre, a cable-car ride to the top of Table Mountain (weather permitting), the world famous Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens and two nights accommodation in the Table Mountain National Park.

Abseiling on Table Mountain

Why not try abseiling down the face of this world famous mountain?
Our Table Mountain abseil is a heart-stopping, 112-metre controlled descent that will certainly get your adrenaline pumping. You can walk or take the cable way to the top were a guide will prepare you for your descent. It’s certainly a unique, and thrilling, way to see Cape Town, dangling on a rope high above the city streets. If you’re seeking something even more daring, how about hiking up a river gorge, then kloofing (canyoning) back through rock pools and abseiling 65 metres and more through cascading waterfalls

Kloofing

Kloofing (canyoning) is a South African adventure sport that entails the climbing of scenic ravines, gorges and crevices in the mountains.

So, if you like your secluded beauty with a healthy dose of adrenalin, why not choose this activity as a way to explore the mountain wilderness?
