ABOUT
Hi AllOur big hike for the weekend will be at Elephants Eye , come and meet Jon-Jon and say hi to the founder of this crazy cool club !!
The hike to the Elephant’s Eye Cave is one of Cape Town’s easier walks with rewarding views over False Bay and the Southern Suburbs.
Starting in the Silvermine Nature Reserve you will walk through indigenous fynbos and on hot summer days a swim in the Silvermine dam is a welcome relief for tired feet.
The Silvermine Nature Reserve is a vast playground for nature lovers situated between the Tokai Forest and Noordhoek. The area is renowned for mountain biking, rock climbing and many hiking trail with views from False Bay to Hout Bay.
The Elephant’s Eye hike is one of the most popular options in the reserve. If you look at the Constantiaberg you will be able to see the cave. Imagine the tall radio mast to be planted on the top of an elephant’s head and you might see how the cave got its name.
