The Otter Hiking Trail

A tough climb starts your day, but from there on in it's plain sailing along the cliffs to Natures Valley.

Hikers must check in at the Natures Valley Sanparks campsite, de Vasselot, to sign out and be issued with an Otter Trail Certificate.

I highly recommend the little extra trek, around 2 km to the Natures valley Restaurant, Blue Rocks Café, for some glorious food and a cold beer. This is the perfect place to reminisce while you wait for your shuttle or your fellow hikers to catch up.

Although tired and sore, you will not want to leave this paradise. Take comfort in knowing that you are now one of the very privileged group of people who have completed the Otter Trail, a life changing, unforgettable experience.

Tips for Day 5:

• There is no rush - take it slow and enjoy it while it lasts.
• Stop in at the Natures Valley Restaurant - they have great food and a traditional 'shot' that hikers love to indulge in.
