It was refreshing, a little exercise. Beautiful view. Was there for an assignment, but it was too dry, couldn't find the animals i needed for my assignment. But all in all it was an awesome experience. You should try it, the hike is okay, there's a picnic spot as well for your date????????????

The hike here is one of the easiest hikes in Cape Town. Not much effort really is needed and very good for people who want to try out hiking. There are several picnic spots and the signs suggests there are animals but I didn’t see one. If you go for animals you might be disappointed but if you’re going for a good time with a really good view of Cape Town, definitely check it out!

The reserve is small but the views are great. You can see most of Cape Town on a good day and there is a picnic area mid-way up the hill to sit and relax.

Trails are perfect for running or a long walk/hike. Putting them all together or doing a few laps it’s easy to squeeze in a nice 10km trail run with some savage hill climbs. A must visit.

Usually paid entrance but currently free and under renovation.

Generally not that busy and very safe.

What a wonderful gem this is, though hidden away deep in Tygerberg.

The paths are well marked and while difficult, it is acceptable for use by wheelchair users.

There are well-maintained toilets on site and the view of Cape Town is amazing.

There is plenty of free parking available but it's best to get there early because it fills up quickly.

The shaded picnic areas are a blessing - especially in the summer heat. Bring refreshments as the only vending machine on site is pretty expensive.

Our second walk here. It was fun and clean. I think it is quite well maintained and lots of shade and walking options. The walks are not too strenuous and good for kids. I'll definately walk here again.

Wonderful return to nature. The hike was amazing.. the view was breathtaking BUT the TICKS are a serious problem, especially in the picnic area.

Nice safe place to walk or run with the family. Hilly and hot in summer so go early in the morning or late afternoon. Yearly pass is affordable if you go often. Picnic area up at the top with toilet facilities
