Hike Leopard’s Kloof

There are so few opportunities to be in unspoilt nature within the safety of a pristinely kept Botanical Garden such as the Leopard’s Kloof Hike at Harold Porter Gardens, Betty’s Bay affords and there is absolutely no reason why you can’t enjoy  it, too.

Give yourself an hour each way. While some of the steps onto rocks and around gnarled roots of trees can be tricky, it isn’t difficult to do. In fact, if you approach all the ladders on all fours you will not only clamber up and down with ease but you will be taking greater care than those foolhardy types who walk rather than climb down the ladders.

Here is a three-minute video I made of our hike this morning. I hope it shows you how easily it can be done and how extraordinarily beautiful it is.
