The Tsitsikamma Hiking Trail was South Africa's first officially accredited hiking trail and has recently been allocated the Green Flag Certificate for a trail under excellent management. The Tsitsikamma Hiking Trail is truly a southern Cape hiking paradise, journeying through extensive indigenous afromontane forest and mountain fynbos. Ancient river gorges and abundant rivers and streams continually remind us of the creative power of water and the origins of the word Tsitsikamma. Tsitsikamma is an old Khoisan word which means 'place of many waters. ' The trail passes numerous rivers and streams and offers spectacular mountain and river gorge scenery.
