  • A short film showcasing one of South Africa's most iconic and beautiful hiking trails, The Otter Trail.
    The five day Otter Trail runs along the spectacular coastline between the Storms River mouth and Nature's Valley. It is considered on the the best multi-day hikes in the world. You also come across the famous Bloukrans river on the fourth day, which is usually one of the main talking points throughout the hike. The huts are situated a few meters from the ocean, which makes for fantastic views.
    Day 1: Start to Ngubu huts - 4,8km (2-hours)
    Day 2: Ngubu to Scott huts - 7,9km (4-hours)
    Day 3: Scott to Oakhurst huts - 7,7km (4-hours)
    Day 4: Oakhurst to Andre huts - 13,8km (6-hours)
    Day 5: Andre huts to De Vasselot / Nature’s Valley - 10,8km (5-hours)

    Did the Otter Trail in September 2007; I was visiting one of my best friends who lived in Cape Town and he said I should see if any spots were available and sure enough there was one space open! Without a doubt the most amazing 5 days of my life in the outdoors. I never did see the otters, but I did get to see lots of whales and dolphins. Thanks for sharing this!

      @@ArnoPouwels I would love to, especially with my wife and kids (I was single back in 2007). Have you ever been to the Cederberg? I did a 4-day backpacking trip there as well and thought it was fantastic in very different ways.

    Cool video, very professional and I've just subscribed! I'm from the city of Sunderland UK and I love watching people's videos from other countries. Maybe you could check out our channel "Bonny Lads On Tour" which is not very professional ha ha 👍
