The Otter Trail
May 2018
The Otter Trail is undoubtedly the most well known and popular of South African hiking trails. Aptly named South Africa's oldest official multi-day trail, having hosted hikers since the early sixties. The well trodden trail starts from Storms River Mouth in the east and finishes at Nature's Valley in the west. The 44km trail takes five days to hike and hugs the rugged and lush coastline of the Tsitsikamma National Park. Our trip started off with pouring rain but moderate temperatures and cleared up beautifully on the second morning, we were treated to moody skies and perfect still days as we traversed the magnificent coastline.
