WHAT IS INCLUDED
- NIMBLE - incorporates a curated selection of the most scenic, authentic 5 to 6 hour adventurous mountain hikes around Cape Town. Each hike has been pre-hiked and pre-planned and categorized:
Gradient Moderate to hard
Scrambling Some easy scrambling
Duration 5 to 6 hours
Distance 7 to 12 km
Elevation Gain 350 to 1000 m
The hikes take place in a small group setting with maximum 8 participants and 1 expert registered mountain guide ensuring personal attention to all. The pace is managed to keep the group together ensuring no one gets lost or are left behind and that we don't go over the time.
The hikes are enriching and informative as our expert guides are knowledgeable about the fynbos vegetation, geology and history of the mountains and provide context during the hike about what it is you are hiking through. Passionate about mountains and fynbos, our guides gently, but actively bring guests' awareness into the hike, facilitating deeper connections with nature.
The hikes are all within a 5 to 100km radius from the center of Cape Town. The entire NIMBLE portfolio of 12 unique hikes includes a magnificent variety of hikes on Table Mountain, in Silvermine Nature Reserve, Jonkershoek mountains, and Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve.
The scenery includes mountain-ocean vistas, small forests, fynbos-clad hills, small mountain streams and sometimes waterfalls, also striking rock formations.
Prior to registering, each guest is assessed in terms of hike-readiness to ensure the package chosen matches their level and to ensure an enjoyable group hike where no-one falls behind.
Guests receive a detailed itinerary of each hike with detailed route description, what to bring, start time, where to meet etc. upfront, and a mountain safety card to take along.
Mountain safety is the number one priority. The expert guides are trained, qualified and registered adventure guides, specialising in hiking, trained at reducing and managing safety risks in mountains. They have level 3 First Aid qualifications and carry along a fully equipped First Aid Kit and Satellite Messenger Device as well as relevant contact numbers of Emergency Rescue Services.
