@@garnettsnymanokay thank you! I want to do the 13 peaks challenge so one of the peaks is constanicaberg, so I did Elephants Eye cave a couple of months ago- so is that the peak the mean? 😅 ie can i check Constanicaberg off the list? 😂
@@thegreenco7896 Hi, oh sorry no its only part of the way to constantiaberg, here is the link to all trails: Noordhoek Peak, Sentinel, Constantiaberg and Elephant's Eye on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/south-africa/western-cape/noordhoek-peak-sentinel-constantiaberg-and-elephant-s-eye?sh=nqpey2
Ok everything is clear. I appreciate for your answer. One more question: are there any entrance fee to National Park with hiking routes in Cape Town? I am asking because in my country sometimes you need to buy on-line ticket on website to National Parks. And what about other hikes like Lion's Head - do you need a map to follow the trails or there is only one that takes you straight to summit? This is completely unknown land to me, I live far away but I would like to arrive their next summer🙂. I saw on movie as well that Table Mountain is a bit demanding route escpecialy near summit - I mean chains& ladders. So propably you need a harness for your secure, I am wandering what is your opinion about it? Any tip you would like to share it?😊
@@dominikabobula4717 Hi, so all hikes up Table Mountain is obviously challenging because of the incline, but ive found only 3 of the 13 peaks to be risky, lions head has two/three small chain ladders but there is a route to avoid 1 of them, and by far lions head is the easiest to navigate. There is no fee involved on table mountain for about 80% of the hikes, the ones you pay for is silvermine nature reserve, chapmans peak and kirstenbosch gardens if you decide to park there. I hope this helps
I have one more guestions. What about a hiking trails in Cape Town: are they well described, I mean are there any crypto signs on the way to summit that you do not get lost? Can you hike alone without any mountain guide? Or for first time it is better to book a trip if you are not familiar with neighboorhood? What kind of digital map did you use during your mountain adventure? Is it safe to walk there in group of 2-3 people? I will appreciate for your answer. The views are marvelous 😊
Hi, you can definitely do it with a friend or two, don’t need a guide and this actually one of those hikes that you don’t really need a map because you just go on the route that goes up to devils peak. However the marking isn’t to great but you can always screenshot the route on all trails that is what I did 😁. It is also fairly popular which means there will be others to join you, just follow them.
Enjoyed excellent vacations in Cape Town from 1985 to 1997. Winelands area, brilliant plus Cape Peninsula tours fantastic. I used to stay at Arthur's Seat Hotel, brilliant food and Service, plus Cape Sun hotel, excellent! 🇬🇧
Thank you for this. Quick questions: Can we expect to see some wildlife? Is there safe parking for cars? And if the zip lining is included on the price?
Hi there! We are going to do the hike and thought maybe perhaps you know someone who could guide us? And thank you so much for the video, it is amazing! Great job done
Hi, thanks for the comment, if you are on instagram, this guy is one of the guides that do this route very often: here is a link to him: instagram.com/patricks_adventure_travels?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Hi, the routes were very well marked and definitely one of the best hikes around Gauteng but I dont know how safe it will be alone seeing that the cliff is quite steep and some spots could be risky alone.
Wowee ! Garnet i always hit the like button before i even see your vids. As you know i lived in Cape Town, but never went to Mosselbai. Have you found those white-barked slim trees with spreading ground roots, deep in Newlands Forest yet ? They were magical, covered in bright green moss. Or maybe they've been removed or died out ? 🌱🤔
May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness ? DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (C)2006 from james monahan original songs.
brother this makes me so happy to see someone recorded such an amazing journey up there i did it when i was 12 with my Voortrekkers group , i live in New Zealand now for a long time and this brought back so many memories, by any chance was there a old military hut up there near the water fall still ?
Garnett your videos are another level. Watching this in 2023, october. The music blends beautifully. And i like your brief stops to talk to us. Just marvelous, thank you. I miss the Cape always, but never ventured much farther out. Blessings. 👌🩵🌱💙
You have a gift Garnett. What a gorgeous video. Listening to you talking , saying your feelings about the place moves me deeply. (My mom was born in Cape Town) The sheer effort you put into it shows me how much the place constantly inspires you. You are an excellent vlogger and i think it's the perfect medium for you. (Don't get drawn into anything that restricts your freedom of expression, you clearly have wonderful control over your content). Blessings and love , bravo Garnett . 💗👌🌱
