Most visitors make a beeline for Cape Point, seeing the rest of the reserve through a vehicle window, but walking is the best way to appreciate the dramatic landscape and flora.

There are several waymarked walks in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve
If you're planning a big hike it's best to set out early, and take plenty of water, as shade is rare and the wind can be foul.

One of the most straightforward hiking routes is the signposted forty-minute trek from the car park at Cape Point to the more westerly Cape of Good Hope.

For exploring the shoreline, a clear path runs down the Atlantic side, which you can join at Giftkommetjie, signposted off Cape Point Road.

From the car park, several sandy tracks drop quite steeply down the slope across rocks, and through bushes and milkwood trees to the shore, along which you can walk in either direction.
