Description
If you are looking for an active adventure while visiting Cape Town, you can book the Skeleton Gorge hike. The steep route calls for good fitness levels and you will enjoy the experience along the forest-like landscape of the Eastern slopes. Expect to see large rocky boulders, running streams, tree tunnels and a lush green environment on this side of Table Mountain.
The world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on the trail promises will lead you to the Contour Path which meets the Skeleton Gorge. You will climb some wooden ladders and step rock as well as rocky stream through a jungle-like path. Near the summit, you will encounter Breakfast Rock and take a smooth path to the Smuts track. The guided tour includes a picnic with scenic views of the False Bay and suburb of Newlands, Hout Bay with Silvermine in the distance.
After you reach the cable car station, you will be rewarded by panoramic, wide-angle views of the Cape Town. If Table Mountain cable car is closed, the alternative route will involve a steep descent to the Contour Path and return to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden. The Table Mountain tour ends with a walking tour around the largest botanical garden in South Africa.
