Skeleton Gorge Hiking Tour from Cape Town
Description
We'll meet up at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens at the designated time to kick off this amazing hike through the breathtaking Table Mountain National Park.
First things first, we'll check out the beautiful Kirstenbosch Garden and its collection of unique fynbos plants native to South Africa. It's a great warm-up before we hit the trail!
From there, we'll take a path between waterfalls and trees that will take us to the gorge, where the real adventure will begin. Our route will take us through the picturesque Skeleton Gorge, covering around 6.5 kilometers (4 miles). Don't worry, it's an easy level hike, but we'll spice things up by sharing the intriguing story behind its name. Get ready to tackle some short steep sections and navigate a rocky stream bed along the way.
As we trek through this incredible gorge, prepare to be blown away by the stunning waterfalls and lush landscapes surrounding us. The ultimate reward awaits at the top of the plateau, where we'll descend a set of stairs leading to beautiful sandy beaches.
After an epic three-hour journey, we'll loop back to our starting point, concluding this unforgettable excursion.
