Tsitsikamma Mountain Trail

An awesome hiking trail.
Spend 2 - 6 days hiking through a mountainous wonderland of forest and fynbos where birdsong pulls the sun into the sky, waterfalls and rock pools crisscross your tracks, enchanted forest glades drip monkey ropes, mossy forest floors hide bejewelled flowers and fragrant slopes of fynbos stretch across forever... Start and stop points are flexible as vehicles can access the comfortable, well-equipped overnight huts (which are often close to tasty swimming holes). What’s more slobbo yobbos, they offer equipment portage, so now even slackpackers can head for the hills!
