Join us on an unforgettable day hike from Newlands Forest, up the challenging Platteklip Gorge, and across the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town! After months of lockdown, we were craving adventure, and this trail gave us everything we needed—breathtaking views, fresh air, and a renewed sense of connection with nature.
From the steep climb to the summit, a well-deserved break with snacks and beers, and the jaw-dropping views of Lion’s Head and Cape Town below, this hike was nothing short of incredible. And of course, we couldn’t miss exploring the fynbos and spotting South Africa’s beloved proteas along the way.
🎥 In this video, you’ll experience:
- A tough but rewarding climb up Platteklip Gorge
- Stunning vistas of Cape Town, Lion’s Head, and the Atlantic Ocean
- Personal reflections and moments of pure joy on Table Mountain
- Tips for hiking this iconic Cape Town trail
If you love hiking, adventure, or simply want to see why Cape Town’s trails are world-famous, this video is for you. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures around South Africa and beyond. 🌍
📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
* iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
* DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - its small, compact and provides amazing footage.
* GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and quality.
