Hiking in Cape Town

Cape Point lighthouse walk

Through fynbos to the lighthouse at the reserve's tip, where two ocean currents meet. Baboons own the parking lot.

Muizenberg to Kalk Bay walk

Catwalk trail, tidal pools, fish and chips at the harbor.

Platteklip sunrise ascent

Table Mountain's front face at dawn: steep, direct, and quiet before the cable cars start. Headtorch up, coffee with the view.

Skeleton Gorge descent

Nursery Ravine down through yellowwoods. Swim at Kirstenbosch? No. Admire.

Table Mountain pipe track sunset

Contour path, city lights on, headtorch descent. Weekday ritual.
