Official website: City of Cape Town

From the gate, we took the Tortoise trail, turned right and followed the Duiker circular route, which leads you down around a dam and up again to the Tortoise trail. The trail then leads you up the hill to the transmitter towers. From there we took the Watsonia trail, turned left onto Honey Badger, and left again following Ukhetshe on the Plattekloof side of Tygerberg. The last bit of Ukhetshe is quite steep up to the Tygerberg Radio Tower. From there we followed the tarred road back to the gate.
