Tokai Lower Plantation — Attraction in Western Cape

Nice place to walk the doggos. There are some dodgy bits where people have been mugged so ask locals/other dog-walkers where is safe and where is a bit iffy.

Generally safer areas would be through the foresty bit and around the houses. Generally dodgier bits would be away off in the bushy areas. (There is a particular area where the bushes are quite high so nobody can really see you there and it's prettty easy to hide in those bushes and jump out so be cautious)

Take at least one walking buddy along, if you can, or dogs.

It's okay to go for a run there alone but again, can be a bit iffy if nobody is around and you go into the wrong area.

There are usually people walking their dogs, cycling or going for a jog. (And often just some who enjoy the peaceful stroll)

I hope you find this...

The Secret Forest Cafe serves excellent coffee and thé most delectable...
