You need a permit to hike in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The views are well worth the small price I paid to hike here though. There are single and multi-day trekking route options available, but due to the intense summer heat I favoured a shorter route. Heading north up the west bank of the Palmiet River before gaining a bit of height and walking down on the east side. Hottentots-Holland Nature Reserve is a stunning location in South Africa and this walk can be enjoyed by all ages.
