The entire country of South Africa is a hiker’s paradise. With an enormous range of climates and topography, numerous incredible landscapes to cross, mountains to climb and beaches to hike along you don’t have to venture very far to find yourself in a place of extreme natural beauty.
The Cape is arguably the most beautiful region in the country. It certainly offers a wealth of hiking possibilities.
Many people mistakenly think that all you need is a pair of hardy walking shoes and a bottle of water and you can head off for a great day in the great outdoors. It is this false sense of security that leads to the mountain rescue services having to conduct searches for lost wanderers each year. Don’t be put off – all you need is a qualified guide to lead you and advise you on safety measures and the world is your oyster.
Whether you have a few hours or a few days, get out of the malls and into the outdoors – the best way to explore a new place is to get out there.
