Cape Town’s world-famous Table Mountain range is one of the most accessible wilderness areas in the world – most of which lies within a National Park. The fifty-kilometer-long range at the tip of Africa offers walkers and hikers countless routes to explore and to admire the lofty views overlooking the start of a vast continent. The Table Mountain range lies within the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so-claimed for its extraordinary array of indigenous biodiversity.
We offer guided hiking for guests who are keen to experience the serenity of life in Cape Town, only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city and suburbs, and offer hikes ranging in duration from half a day to multiple day trails.
