Cecilia, Table Mountain — Attraction in Cape Town Ward 62

This is my LOVE/HATE trail. One of the very many Table Mountain National Park gems. I love it because it is so versatile (if that is even the right way to describe it). I love it because there are tons of trails to choose from that will take you to so many various points. I love it because there is a refreshing waterfall on one of its trails and I LOVE it cause you can do a light leisurely stroll with your kids, toddlers or dog and u can turn back whenever you’ve replenished your outdoor tank. It has breath taking views. It is mostly shaded and just calms the soul. Then why I hate it - only because I am a novice hiker and those steps are killer but AWESOME. I hate it so much that I keep going back to hike a different trail in this beautiful forest. You can even start at Cecelia Forest and make your way over to Constantia Nek and follow the path to the 1st dam and if you much fitter than me, you can go on to the rest of the Constantia Nek Dams. There...

One of my fave hikes in Cape Town! Made our way from the Cecilia Forest car park up the Ravine to the waterfall.

Ideal for hikers who are moderately fit. Quite an uphill climb and some rock scrambling along the way. Paths are not always well marked, so plan your route ahead of time or ask other hikers along the way.

Most of the route we went was in the shade, with sweeping views over the city now and then. Stunning King Proteas were beginning to bloom. The waterfall is just beautiful and a lovely spot to relax with a picnic (don't litter please) and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

A wonderful green escape from the urban jungle. Highly recommend it, but please go with a group if possible. Bring water, snacks, fully charged phone, sunscreen, wear good hiking shoes.and have clothing for warm and cold weather. No charge to hike this trail. There are a number of trails within...

Oh my gosh, Cecilia Forest is stunning and connects to Kirstenbosch so you can literally hike for miles. The terrain makes for easy walking and the trees, streams, vegetation and views are breathtaking. One can easily jog on the paths as well and enjoy the tranquility and energy of being in nature. Also excellent for "crazy" tree huggers like me. Parking is secure and although it is strongly advised not to go alone, I have found that on any day, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to have you tag along with them on their walks/runs. We are so blessed here in Cape Town to have access to such beautiful spots which require no access fees. Add this to your itinerary and bring your own refreshments if you plan to be out...
