Hiking Getaways
Guided hiking tours in the Garden Route and Southern Africa

Time for a break from routine.

With the intensity of lockdowns, long hours of digital meetings and limitations of travel, everyone needs a break to reconnect with nature.

Garden Route Trail has designed a series of hiking getaways with a mix of short to medium walks blended with comfortable accommodation and wilderness cuisine. These break aways are crafted to provide excellent hiking and detailed nature awareness to trigger your parasympathetic nervous system for overall relaxation and a digital detox.

Mountain Bliss

Nestled in valleys of the Tstsikamma Mountains, the Tsitsikamma Trail is a magnifiscent 6 day hiking trail. Hiking from nature's Valley, the trail heads eastwards and finishes at the Storms River Bridge.

Grootvaderbos

A favorite destination, the Grootvaderbos Nature Reserve is ideal for mountain peak sun downers in the Fynbos and reflective day walks in mature indigenous forests as well as reflecting on our connection to nature beneath the tallest trees in South Africa.

The Outeniqua Peaks

If you are looking for easily accessible mountain hikes with varied landscapes, the Outeniqua Mountains north of George is the perfect destination. The outing can be crafted according to your hiking requirements from short steep ascents to full day routes through forest and fynbos.

Overberg and Whale Coast

The Cape Fold mountains between Betty's Bay and Hermanus contain an incledible network of hking trails for all grades of hiking. Whether you want a demanding mountain hike or a relaxed wine taisting saunter, the Kogelberg and Fernfloof reserves are a perfect multi day hiking tour destination.

Arid Karoo

Based in the historic town of Graaff Reinet, We combine varied distance trails that distill the essence of this semi desert region of South Africa. For the adventure seekers, a full day hike to ascend the Nardou Peak (2429m) can be included in the itinerary.

Baviaans Kloof

The Baviaans Kloof has plenty to offer in terms of hiking. Based at Cedar Falls, we will explore the Cedar Fall canyon (which includes some swimming) and hike to crystal clear rock pools and enjoy sun downers on mountain tops.
