Hiking in one of the many nature reserves is a very popular activity in South Africa. All levels of fitness are catered for, whether you are up for an invigorating hike, or just feel like taking a gentle stroll along the rocky shoreline of the Kogelberg coast. When out on your hike, keep your eye out for the local flora and fauna. This region is home to more species of flora than all of Western Europe, and the best places to see it are the nearby nature reserves and the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens.
