The Hoerikwaggo hiking trail is 75km of hiking through the world heritage site of Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). The Hoerikwaggo “mountain in the sea” Trail gives hikers an unforgettable experience, with the unsurpassed beauty, breathtaking views and the unique flora and fauna of the area. Hikers pass through peaks, forests, beaches and restricted conservation areas of the Table Mountain National Park. It is a journey through the smallest and most diverse of the world’s floral kingdoms.

After a days’ hike you will arrive at one of the Eco-Friendly Tented Camps which were exclusively built for the Hoerikwaggo Trail.

All camps offer hot water, comfortable beds, open fires, fully equipped self-catering communal kitchens / dining areas and communal bathrooms. Guests need to provide their own bedding and towels.
