After heading out of Cape Town early and arriving in the Wilderness Area by late morning, we immediately set off, hiking up to the Sneeuberg Hut via the Maltese Cross. This is where we will spend the first night.

Today we hike up to the top of the Sneeuberg and climb the summit blocks to reach the highest point in the Cederberg Range. The spectacular view from the summit is well worth the effort and one can often see all the way to Table Mountain approximately 300km away. Hiking back down the mountain we keep a look-out for the rare Snow Protea and enjoy a great view of

Today we hike down a historical pass en-route to the Welbedacht Forest Station. The route follows a sparkling mountain stream and the night is spent in Welbedacht Cave. Along the way we have a look at an old leopard trap. Today, farmers and conservationists alike work hard to re-establish the leopard in the Cederberg.

Leaving the cave, and crossing a shale band know as Die Trap, we ascend to Spout Cave. Here we leave our packs and enjoy a scramble to the Tafelberg summit, 1968m in height. We spend time exploring a myriad of fascinating rock formations, including the famous "flying saucer".

It's all downhill today as we pass back via Welbedacht Cave. End our hike at a crystal clear river for a final swim or wash. We return to Cape Town for the afternoon, with memories and photographs to share and treasure.
