5 REASONS WHY THE HOTTENTOTS HOLLAND MOUNTAINS SHOULD CALL YOU
PLACES WE’VE BEEN, ADVENTURES, NATURE | SEPTEMBER 8, 2017
The Hottentots Holland mountains are just a short trip from Cape Town. They’re part of a lush, fynbos-covered mountain range that stretches for about 70,000 hectares.
They form part of a CapeNature reserve with the same name.

So of course we had to investigate this secretive spot, hidden away in the Cape Floral Kingdom.
Here’s what we found – that there are at least 5 reasons (and probably a whole lot more) as to why this reserve should lure you closer.
1. Waking up above the clouds

2. The fynbos, of course

3. The trails

4. Get excited about ziplining

5. Wicus – the local dog

The best bit?
For Capetonians it’s about a 20 minute drive from Somerset West to the start of the reserve. And it’s likely to become a hiking adventure you’ll never forget.
