Skeleton Gorge Hiking Tour from Cape Town

Get ready for an adventure on Table Mountain, the symbol of Cape Town! Our hiking route will take us through Skeleton Gorge, a renowned spot on the mountain. Prepare your hiking gear for the exploration!

Description

We'll meet at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens at the designated time to commence the hike through Table Mountain National Park.

First, we'll visit the beautiful Kirstenbosch Garden and its unique collection of fynbos plants native to South Africa, serving as a warm-up before hitting the trail.

We will then follow a path between waterfalls and trees to the gorge, where the adventure begins. Our route through Skeleton Gorge covers around 6.5 kilometers (4 miles). It's an easy hike, though some short steep sections and a rocky stream bed will add challenge. We will also share the story behind the gorge's name.

As we trek through the gorge, prepare for stunning waterfalls and lush landscapes. The reward at the top of the plateau includes descending stairs to beautiful sandy beaches.

After a three-hour journey, we will loop back to our starting point, concluding this excursion.
