Hi, I am interested in 2 hour hiking trails but it must have rock pools for swimming and or waterfalls. I know it could be limited due to hot weather.
Not to far out Cape Town.
Can you let me know where so I can look them up first on google earth?
Thank you
Hi Elizabeth
Steenbras Gorge near Gordons Bay is a good option – if it is open to the public at the moment.
hello, when is ur next hike…am a beginner and would love to experience great trails & hikes!
Hi Ronle
I dont have any fixed dates. check out the links page for a list of hiking clubs.
Hi I responded to your email request.
Hi there my husband and I will be in Cape Town 4/5/6 April and would love to do a hike/run up Table Mountain. We are reasonably experienced trail runners with a good fitness level – I like the look of going up the Skeleton Gorge route and back down in the Cable Way ( I hope I’ve got that right?). Early morning on the 5th or 6th April would be great for us, we will have a rental car so can meet wherever is easiest. Can you please let me know availability and the rate? Thanks, Charlie
