About the Trail

The hike starts at Silvermine Dam – Silvermine is located within the Cape Floral Kingdom one of the most diverse of the six floral kingdoms in the world. The walk takes the hikers to the tented camp in Orange Kloof, a restricted area. The Afromontane forest and the scenery surrounding Orange Kloof compels you to relax and be at peace with yourself. The tented accommodation is located within the lush trees – the whole set up is re-invigorating.
The next day, hikers walk, via Disa Gorge towards the Arial Cable Way Station where they will be ferried down by the Cable Car.
