BLYDE RIVER CANYON NATURE RESERVE
“A lot of people do the hike as an early-morning constitutional, and it’s a local ritual to hike up and watch the sun go down on a fullmoon night. The moonlight helps the walk back down, although you should always bring a torch (flashlight) and go with company” – Lonely Planet
CASTLE OF GOOD HOPE “Opened in 1679, the castle is the oldest surviving building in South Africa and has been the centre of civilian, political and military life at the Cape and the nation since” – castleofgoodhope.co.za
