The waterfall in Cecilia Forest is like a scene out of a Jurassic Park movie. Its absolutely breath-taking & always worth the hike to it. Takes btwn approx 75mins from the car park & using a normal walking pace.

Fantastic fairly easy route for the the better than average fit individual. Some awesome views and particularly safe as many hikers frequent this route.

This is my LOVE/HATE trail. One of the very many Table Mountain National Park gems. I love it because it is so versatile (if that is even the right way to describe it). I love it because there are tons of trails to choose from that will take you to so many various points. I love it because there is a refreshing waterfall on one of its trails and I LOVE it cause you can do a light leisurely stroll with your kids, toddlers or dog and u can turn back whenever you’ve replenished your outdoor tank. It has breath taking views. It is mostly shaded and just calms the soul. Then why I hate it - only because I am a novice hiker and those steps are killer but AWESOME. I hate it so much that I keep going back to hike a different trail in this beautiful forest. You can even start at Cecelia Forest and make your way over to Constantia Nek and follow the path to the 1st dam and if you much fitter than me, you can go on to the rest of the Constantia Nek Dams. There are 5 in total.

Hike from Constantia Nek to De Villiers Dam, great walk of you can handle inclines, especially the last 2 inclines just before reaching the dam. I did some heavy breathing on the last 2 inclines

Truly one of my top ten fun hikes to do in cape Town almost not a hike as you can just walk on the dirt road which makes it great for all levels

Waterfalls. silver plants. streams of water. Waterfalls silver plants. waterfalls 💧its a good place to go and explore a different area of Table Mountain witch is one of the 7 World Wonders of the world and its unique features all the different species live here mountain goats were sighted and they are beautiful as well

Cycling trails in the area are excelent. Green belt starts here but gets muddy in wet weather.

Beautiful safe walking trails. There is a security guard at the parking area. There is a lovely stream and beautiful forest.

Cecelia forest has many routes, some circular, some not.The nature reserve welcomes dogs, trail runners and mountain bike users.The path that was chosen started off steep and the path back was steep as well.The hike was a total of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Totally worth it, as we got to have a picnic at the foot of the Cecelia forest waterfall.The look out points allow you to see the panoramic views of Constantia.For this hike you need shoes that are able to grip well, especially when descending.1.5 litre water is sufficient. The route feels safe, however it’s always best to hike in a group.The hike is suitable for children 10 years and above.Entrance is free and there is parking available.

I suggest this trail for families or anyone for that matter! This is not a difficult hike at all. Great views and beautiful forests you walk through with great shade and some parts of the trail is very sunny depending on weather. Great hike which I encourage anyone to try!

Beautiful walk up the ravine with the kids.Easy enough, and exciting little outdoor adventure for the littles.

Awesome hike towards the waterfall, its nearly 5-6 kms to the waterfall from the parking. My kids 6 and 9 managed to get to the top. Would recommend for first timers.

Incredible place to be, very much like a fairytale. You just instantly feel revived and one with nature. Its one of the greenest forests I know, the scenery is lush and breathtaking. The waterfall was flowing beautifully, its an enlightening experience. The hikes around this area are fun and safe, for families and animals to enjoy.

One of my favourite hikes

Part of Cicilia forest, trails are just awesome. First time up it might be a bit strenuous, take a bottle of water.

Easy hike up to the waterfall from Constantia Nek round trip takes 3 hours

Amazing walk, not too strenuous.

Great trail. Great escape from city love just to absorb the beauty of nature ❤️ i recommend this hiking trail

Absolutely breath taking! The beauty of these mountain rain vistas nestled in the bustling metropolis of Cape Town is truly a treat! Many friendly dogs along the way, certain areas require dogs to be on lead. Be sure to pack refreshments and snacks and enjoy the trails in groups...never encountered any suspicious characters or felt threatened in any way..but always better to stay safe!

Beautiful place, remember to stretch!

Best experience ever 💞💃💞

Lovely cenery. Very versatile hiking paths. You get to a beautiful view very quickly.

Its so tranquil and peaceful,wouldnt mind going there again ❤️

Beautiful hiking trails alongside mountain streams in amazing forest. Completely isolates you from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. Close to Newlands and next to Kirstenbosch located on Constantia pass on the way to Hout Bay.

Great walk. Easy to do. Often others on the trail with dogs.

What lovely weather we had on our night hike

Awesome experience!

First time hiking wheelchair friendly no steps thats good but u going to need help very steep up

Always great to be out in the Forest weekends 🙌

Trail was awesome, in one with nature and the beauty of our creator

Fun hiking trails and not to mention waterfalls and streams, very refreshing and tranquil hike.

Beautiful

Nice walking and cycling trail

Great walk on Contour Path

Moderate Hike. Baboons on the path, keep your dogs on a leash.

One of the best hikes. You reach the top and get to a reservoir with an amazing view. Starts off gentle to warm you up and the last stretch is a steep as hell hill.

Good walks and cycle path up and around the mountain. Some straight and some steep. Not much shade from trees (only where there are still a few pine trees) so hats, skin protection, water and snacks is a must.

Lovely forest walk with the dogs!

Beautiful and easy walks any time of the year

Cecilia is a section of the Table Mountain National Park on the lower eastern slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town, located just to the south of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

Stunning, beautifull, tranquil.

Awesome we enjoyed the hike thank you

Was lovely and refreshing enjoying the sceneries, the beautiful vegetation. Would be an ideal destination for those that love hiking, running or just love adventure like me.

Loved it!

Great walk, quite steep at the beginning but then it turns into a nice walk through the forest with great views

Different trails that suit different levels of fitness and the views and sights are awesome

Easy hike with nice waterfalls.

Beautiful view, nice and easy hike. Kids can enjoy this hike

Blessed place to be

Amazing hike up to the dams. Worth the steps

Great trails, great views.Trees and rocks so artistically picturesque.

A beautiful spot. Peaceful

More signage for specific paths would help. We couldnt find the waterfall 😞

Nice and easy hike for a first time hiker

Parking area was full. I was expecting this because the weather was amazing!

Cape Town is too beautiful very Scenic

Nice trails and beautiful views.

The best hiking spot

Pleasant walk and beautiful views

It was quiet and private. The trails were easy and well marked. The scenery spectacular. You had all the time in the world to sightsee, wander and get close to nature.

Stunning.

Amazing walks, get there early to find parking.

Always great, views spectacular

Luv this 👣

Beautiful

For a great hike take a walk in Cecilia Forest. You can climb all the way to the top of Table Mountain or go for a simple stroll. Always hike in a group and have the emergency contact

Was fantastic walk

Stunning views of the Constantia Valley. Ample parking is available, with a car guard.

I enjoy walking here. Gets a bit busy but I guess that what the joggers and mtb folk say.Bit of time out in nature. Forrest, streams and beautiful views.

Oh my gosh, Cecilia Forest is stunning and connects to Kirstenbosch so you can literally hike for miles. The terrain makes for easy walking and the trees, streams, vegetation and views are breathtaking. One can easily jog on the paths as well and enjoy the tranquility and energy of being in nature. Also excellent for crazy tree huggers like me. Parking is secure and although it is strongly advised not to go alone, I have found that on any day, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to have you tag along with them on their walks/runs. We are so blessed here in Cape Town to have access to such beautiful spots which require no access fees. Add this to your itinerary and bring your own refreshments if you plan to be out for a.while.

Causing rock slides on unsuspecting citizens is a pretty rad way to spend your weekend

The out doors is amazing free work out sponsored by nature nothing better

Love it

A lovely copse of Spanish Cork trees.

Awesome

Great place to hike with your dog. Spectacular view of constantia.

Table mountain is so beautiful, hiking in this magnificent city surrounded by trees talks to the sole

Lovely walk, waterfall, forest and nature. Whats not to like? :)

Amazing forest, recently pruned down and far more natural now. Safe and easy walks in all directions.

Love the location. Its clean, quiet and always nice people around.

Such a majestic place to walk. Probably a do not miss place for any hiker

Amazing hike ifu are taking ur dogs for a walk

The Kirstenbosch MTB trail is a must do for anyone who loves to ride.

Multiple routes and lots of foot traffic makes for hikes you can vary and therefore visit often without it becoming mundane, as well as relatively safe.

Great place

The rail is easy to follow. There is a place to park cars and water fountain

Great place to walk your dogs or walk with the family and kids, its very safe

Great place for gentle quiet walks in the heart of the mother city

Breath taking views. Peaceful walk

A beautiful forest walk. Lots of flowers and waterfall

Beautifull !!!

Busy but safe. Good for children, dogs.

Great cardio exercise, nice fresh air while hiking. Perfecto

Great walk in the mountain. Just wish all dog owners would clean up after them.

Breathtaking and awesome!

Lovely forests with stream. Good for biking or horseriding

Nice walks , river , views

Comfortable walking trail in Newlands forest in the heart of Cape Town City. Parking available at both ends of the walk.
