Sunday Hike: Silvermines Waterfall, Cape Town, South Africa

in #actifit4 years ago (edited)

Morning hike mission with the mister and the little miss. Wanted to do Silvermines Circular Dam walk but we didn't have cash on us and they don't take card machines at the gate. This nature reserve is one of the few in Cape Town that don't take card payments. No need to fus we headed to the waterfall hike instead.

Silvermines Waterfall Hike

  • Start Point: Gate 2, Silvermine Nature Reserve, Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town, South Africa.
  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Distance: 2.5kms in total
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Cost: Free

Highlights

Easy short walk perfect for all fitness levels and ages. Just challenging enough to get some stretch in those legs.

Starts off flat on a well-laid jeep track. Weather was a bit overcast, perfect mountain weather.

A short downhill which translates to a bit of an uphil on the way back!

Lovely spots at the waterfall to chill or even have a quick bite. Perfect for a little picnic.


Kiddo was mesmerised by the waterfall. Also pretty content in her new backpack carrier.

Some ladders and ramps to get to the lower waterfall, where the good picnic spots are.

Look at the pretty flowers

Spring is here so everything is pretty and green. Lots of flowers in beautiful shades.

We planned to venture a little bit further through the reserves but the wind picked up and the little miss is already snotty.

Hope you all had a #sublimesunday

Much Love, Mimismartypants

Such a lovely area to walk round, the water fall is mesmerizing and that baby carrying back pack is awesome - a luxury way to travel. The wooden walkways are very well made, and I really love the purple flowers you found. !COFFEEA 15

What an interesting landscape. It must be really cool to walk around that area! 😃

It is indeed. Very beautiful. Getting lost in the mountains is one of my favourite things to do. Far Away from the noisy city!
