EXPEDITION
Table Mountain
Itinerary
Basecamp
This place is near August fall, a high waterfall with a lookout over the valley. In the Tafelberg it can be very misty in the morning and in the evening. The basecamp is an old wooden shelter built some years ago.
EXPLORE TABLE MOUNTAIN
Geijskes Fall
From basecamp we can hike in a couple of hours, following a relatively good trail along the edge of the mountain, to Geijskes fall. On the way we are passing several viewpoints. If the water level is low enough there is an opportunity to climb down the waterfall to the edge and watch the beautiful view over the valley.
Plane wreck
In the rocky savanna on the Tafelberg there is an old plane wreck. We will leave in the early morning from basecamp to do a 4km hike, crossing a creek and two hills, and arrive on the savanna. The savanna is consisting of 3 rocky clearings. Here you will find the old plane wreck.
Arrowhead Basin
Tepui mountains on itself are astonishing geological locations, but the Tafelberg also possesses a large crater in the very middle of the mountain. This so called ‘Arrowhead Basin’ is about four-square kilometers. Only accessible from the North-west side. As the basin consisted of higher primary forest, wildlife seemed to be higher here.
Grace Fall
In the basin you will find the Grace fall. It is located in the furthest point in the basin. You have to climb a lot of rocks to finally get at the waterfall itself. It is recommended to spend a night in the area before hiking back to basecamp.
Mira Fall
Another waterfall on Table Mountain! This one is as stunning as the others. It’s a 6,5 km hike and also a climb over numerous rocks to get to the fall itself. It would be also recommended to spend a night in the area before heading back to basecamp.
Wamsley Fall
Wamsley fall is a special waterfall going to some rock formations. From Geijskes to Wamsley fall is a hike of about 2 km. This will take about 4 hours and there is a good place to set up camp near the waterfall.
WILDLIFE YOU CAN ENCOUNTER DURING THIS EXPEDITION
