Cape of Good Hope Overnight Trail

The Cape of Good Hope Overnight Trail is a two-day, one-night trail that follows a circular route through the reserve. The trail begins and ends at the Cape Point entrance. The total distance of the hike ± 33 km (you can add 10-12km extra by walking around Cape Point and taking longer routes and loops). The trail can be done either clock or anticlockwise. 

Day one, ± 23km, or longer day of the trail takes hikers through some of the most pristine wilderness of the reserve, cutting through vast plains of fynbos and over isolated beaches, populated only by ostrich, baboons, bontebok, eland and klipspringer. Wildlife, though skittish, is often seen on the route, and dynamic plant and birdlife abound. 

The overnight Hut is perfectly situated with breath-taking views. Very special! 

The second day, or shorter day, 1 ± 13km, is very rocky and included a lot of ups and downhills but very scenic. For most of the hike you are walking near the edge of the cliffs, with stunning views of the ocean and the rest of the reserve. 

Longer day ±23 km:


Shorter day ± 15 km:

Ziplining in Cape Town

Day 28. We go ziplining in Cape Town. Lovely scenery and loads of fun!! 

Cape Town Ziplines boarders on the Table Mountain National Park Reserve.  Walking and ziplining between the 12 PLATFORMS, it feels like being inside the Table Mountain Nature Reserve since it is surrounded by natural beauty, fauna and flora. 

The Zipline experience offers you a tour of the cables starting high in the mountain and slowly descending down the slopes. The platforms offer visitors the most amazing panoramic views of Cape Town.


Guides on the tour will assist with your extreme journey and ensure you have a memorable experience. Some of the Ziplines are as high as 155 Meters with the tree top canopy below and the longest of the Ziplines in the tour is just under 500 meters.

It is truly fantastic.
