ITINERARY
DAY 1 (Sunday): Cape Town – Orange Kloof Forest
After an early breakfast you will be met by your local guides. We then take a short drive to the foot of Table Mountain and begin our adventure up Platteklip (flat stone) Gorge to the upper cable station (this trip can also be done by cable car which is included in the rate). From here, we make our way to Maclears Beacon, which is the highest point on Table Mountain. We then hike towards the coastal town of Hout Bay through the Eco Valley past picturesque dams and arrive at our destination in the late afternoon. We overnight in a picturesque, tented camp nestled in the ancient Afromontane forest of Orange Kloof. The camp was built using alien wood sourced from within the Park and embraces the philosophy of “touching the earth lightly”. Relax in style and comfort, enjoy a hot shower, an open fire and the overwhelming silence of the restricted Orange Kloof forest. [BLD]
