Agulhas National Park

Reviewed By bradowen27 - Saraland, United States

Just a short walk from the lighthouse is the southern most tip of Africa. With a great sculpture of Africa built at the point and maps and history of the area. See the dividing line where the Indian and Atlantic oceans collide and enjoy the beauty of the area. L'Agulhas is a quiet beachy town, a few seafood restaurants and some shops but enjoy the walks and views from the national park

De Hoop Whale Trail

Reviewed By nasihasurtee - Johannesburg, South Africa

Recently renovated, the Whale Trail is a dream slackpacking trail in De Hoop Nature Reserve, and a must-do for all nature lovers. The Trail combines both mountain and coastal walking, The first 3 days hike is fairly strenuous, varying in intensity with some tricky hills; you will need endurance to complete 5 days. It has the most breathtaking scenery, panoramic views, amazing landscapes and rock formations. The fauna is exquisite. The inter-tidal pools on the wave-cut rock platforms and coral reefs are remarkable sights. The azure blue colour of the sea and unspoilt beaches simply spectacular. We did not see whales but large schools of resident dolphins made up for that. Each overnight cottage is mildly rustic and it's own unique character. Each with a well-appointed kitchen, clean bathrooms, hot water and electricity. It is by no means roughing it. Each room is dormitory-like with bunk beds. The setting of each overnight cottage just gets more scenic each day. Well worth the money spend and 1 year waiting list.

De Mond Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Nick_Ver0 - Johannesburg, South Africa

We drove from Arniston where we stayed without knowing much of the place, but we were pleasantly surprised. Great views, beautiful scenery, We saw the nesting Cormorants and seagulls,, Like we were in National geographic. We walked on the north coast of the Laguna and crossed over to the sand bank, splashed in the Ocean, while was building for high tide, then we encountered lots of seagulls and cormorants nesting on the sand , tried not to disturb them but we saw how parents try to protect the small chicks, and eggs, True nature experience.

This is a wonderful place , not to be missed. Superb table and wines. Surroundings are beautiful. Service was excellent. Travel a bit further down the road and visit the historic town of Elim, originally a slave settlement of slaves who escaped Cape Town by following the trail of the Eland over the berg... Overberg.
