These Boots Were Made for Walking …
The sun continues to shine on Cape Town although the onset of winter is waiting in the wings. Cape Point Route recommends getting out into the mountains and making the most of these sunny autumn days. So get those hiking boots out and get on the mountain before it’s hibernation time!

The Package involves 2 days guided hiking on the Hoerikwaggo Trail. The Hiking Package includes overnight accommodation in one of the tented camps on the trail. The camps are fully equipped but you do need to supply your own food (although catering options are available)
What is it?
