Panorama Hiking Trail - Jonkershoek Nature Reserve
June 2012
Nine kilometres southeast of Stellenbosch is the awe-inspiring Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, which boasts five hiking trails of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty. Part of the greater Boland Mountain Range, it is within the high peaks and deep kloofs of the Jonkershoek Mountains that the... Read more »
Boomslang Cave
May 2012
Boomslang Cave is one of the most visited on the Southern Peninsula due to its proximity, relatively easy access and the fact that the cave tunnels right through the mountain. It is a cave that many schools and families visit with children because of the unique sense of adventure brought by crawling... Read more »
Before the Dawn
April 2012
We’ve all pondered the fortitude of Muizenberg’s early risers, who walk the sky-mirrored, water-washed sands of our famed coastal town. Gentle exercise is seductive and beneficial, so I emulated the residents of our favoured fun-in-the-sun resort - but strolled four or five kilometres... Read more »
Myburgh's Ravine
March 2012
Myburgh’s Ravine is one of the Table Mountain Range’s gems, best known for the wonderful array of Red Disas (Disa uniflora) that bloom in February. It is best accessed via a path that leads off Boskykkloof Road in Long Kloof, Hout Bay — care should be taken not to disrupt the... Read more »
Chapman's Peak
February 2012
Chapman’s Peak is one of the most accessible and rewarding hikes on the Peninsula. It’s neither a time-consuming, overly strenuous, difficult or dangerous hike, but it is rather satisfying as it offers superb views of Hout Bay and the Fish Hoek Valley. From the parking area just... Read more »
Window Buttress
January 2012
Window Gorge is a dangerous ascent route to the Back Table, made so by the loose nature of the surface, which can give way at any time in several places. So the most sensible way of reaching the top of Window Buttress is by climbing Skeleton Gorge and hiking along Smuts Track to the buttress... Read more »
Vlakkenberg
December 2011
Vlakkenberg is the lesser-visited half of Constantia Nek, which is a pity because it is very accessible from various starting points and offers superb views of Constantia Corner, Hout Bay and the Cape Flats. The most common access is just down the road into Hout Bay from the Constantia Nek... Read more »
Kloof Corner Ridge
November 2011
Kloof Corner Ridge is one of the more iconic ascents of Table Mountain. It should however, never be attempted by casual hikers or ramblers who wish to explore the Mountain while they’re at the cableway and may just as well do so. Kloof Corner is the ridge that stretches up to just beneath... Read more »
Oppelskop Ridge
October 2011
Like Bruce Springsteen, we were ‘Waiting for a Sunny Day’ for our hike up Oppelskop Ridge. We had wondered one day, coming down from Devil’s Peak, if there was a route up The Ridge as none of us had ever heard of anyone actually doing such a hike. Brian Georgeson, our friend and... Read more »
