#Hiking - 60 posts

Thorsten and I spent a weekend in Greyton, a small town less than two hours from Cape Town, and also made a brief wine-tasting stop in Malgas.

Part 3 of my Quirky South Africa road trip series covers our drive through the Garden Route, staying in Storms River and Plettenberg Bay.

We climbed Table Mountain, starting from the Kirstenbosch and up the Skeleton Gorge Trail. Here's how we did it.

Thorten and I went hiking in Kloodendal Nature Reserve. It was my first time there in 11 years, and we saw hundreds of king proteas in bloom.

Klipriversberg Nature Reserve is more than your average Joburg City Park. It's a full-on hiking/nature-walking experience.

Last week I spent the night at Farmhouse@58, a chic accommodation spot just outside Joburg in the Cradle of Humankind.

We took a walk through the Harvey Nature Reserve on Linksfield Ridge, which bisects Joburg's northern and southern halves.

Last week I spent two days at Walkersons, a lodge just outside Dullstroom. I was dazzled by how bright green and blue everything looked.

After an eight-month hiatus from mt #10SouthAfricanTowns project, I finally visited another town: Kaapsehoop in Mpumalanga.

Since Joburg's parks re-opened, the Melville Koppies central section has been holding open days every Sunday morning.

I spent two days at the beach in Plettenberg Bay and then two days at the desert in Oudtshoorn. This is part I of the journey.

I spent a weekend in a cottage at Brahman Hills, a beautiful and quirky lodge and spa just off the N3 Highway in the Natal Midlands.
