Silvermine Nature Reserve Hike from Cape Town

Walkers who want to enjoy a classic mountain hike with all the big views but don’t want to walk up Table Mountain will find the mountains of the Silvermine Reserve perfect. Only 20 minutes from Cape Town and lower and more sheltered than Table Mountain, Silvermine is home to pristine fynbos, a tumbling waterfall and plenty of oddities like caves, wetlands and patches of gnarled, lichen-covered forest.
