Dusk falls over the Erica Hut in Table Mountain National Park, looking north up the spine of the peninsula.
Erica is one of three hiking huts on the Cape of Good Hope Trail – a two-day, one-night circular route of just over 30 km, which starts and ends at the reserve entrance. The first day leads along the mountainous eastern flank of the peninsula towards Cape Point, and day two takes hikers across the plains and windswept beaches on the western side. Considering you get treated to views like this, it’s no surprise that the trail is booked out months in advance. Reserve your place today by visiting sanparks.org
