Hiking in Cape Town
From a half-day summit of Table Mountain to a week of trails across the Western Cape, every hike we guide is matched to you rather than to a fixed route card.
Trails matched to you, not the other way round.
Cape Town's trails range from gentle coastal contours to steep, exposed scrambles. We choose the route together, based on your experience, fitness, preferred distance, the season and the weather on the day.
Our guides know the mountains in every mood. That knowledge means better decisions about timing, alternatives when the wind picks up, and the small detours that turn a good hike into a memorable one.
- Your hiking experience and confidence on exposed ground
- Current fitness and how many hours you would like to walk
- Preferred distance and elevation gain
- Season, weather and wind on the day
- What you would like to see: summits, coastline, fynbos, forest
- How the hike fits with the rest of your day
Where we hike.

Cape Point & the Peninsula
Coastal paths in the Cape of Good Hope section, Silvermine and Chapman's Peak with ocean on both sides.
- 04
Winelands mountains
Jonkershoek near Stellenbosch and Mont Rochelle above Franschhoek, ideal for a hike followed by lunch on a farm.
