A very cool, chilled walk above Camps Bay. You can take your dogs. Mainly walking. Well maintained, good for all ages.

Was such a nice hike. Took about hour and a bit each way. Very easy, you can basically only go straight so you cant get lost. Amazing views past Camps bay of the ocean. Saw a lovely sunset. Got a bit caught up by time and had to walk back in dark, but felt very safe regardless. You reach an intersection later where u can decide to go down to camps bay, up to the reservoir or to continue.

All hikes are magical in Cape Town. This is an easy walk with beautiful views of Camps Bay down below. Perfect or kids and your 4 legged furry friends. Start from kloof corner and walk to the right. Trail easy to follow.

The Pipe Track is probably the most pleasant way to hike up Table Mountain from the North. Only 2 or 3 very easy ladders, incredible views and lots of shade in the morning.

One awesome hiking trail...good for beginners and for dog-runners. A picturesque view of camp bay and the beach. There is different off trail such as diagonal cave, kasteelspoort and so on.Those who like to take pictures...there are good flora and fauna. Beautiful plant. Trail runner use this trail for training for marathon, comrades and road runner. You will never be dissappointed.

Amazing path all along the edge of the mountain on the Camps Bay side. Not too strenuous and not dangerous at all insofar as ledges and cliffs and exposures are concerned. Many people walk their dogs along this path. Some runners also likes this route, and of course plenty of hikers. It is however advisable to be in a group even though Ive never came across anyone with ill intent along this trail, it is just safer when you have numbers on your side.

I always enjoy returning to the pipe track. Its a great experience for beginner hikers or a fun stroll with your family. Spectacular views and friendly people along the way. Overall a good chance to get fit without feeling like you will never make it till the end because you can stop at anytime to enjoy the scenery.

Best to do an early morning walk along this track. The sun really beats down after 10, so try and finish the walk before then

Pipe track is a lovely walk along the mountain, but it stays relatively level for those more relaxed outings. Friendly dogs are a common sight to complement the exquisite views. Always a pleasure!

Good flat walk that leads to many of the routes up table mountain on the west face. The two routes to avoid are blink water, which leads to echo Valley and slangolie which leads to orange kloof

Beautiful hiking track. Mostly flat however a fairly rocky terrain. Stages of shadiness. Best to start early morning to avoid the heat. Enjoy!

Easy walk till Kasteelklip

Review №40

Best to go early in the morning as the mountain provides valuable shade. First section from kloof nek parking lot can be a bit tough on the legs due to a bit of a climb on rocky ground. Thereafter fairly flat and good for dogs. Great views at all times and one or two spots you can stop under a pine tree to take in the views. Avoid during summer south Easter days.

Review №78

Such a pleasant walk, the pathway has a very low gradient since it follows a fresh water pipe. The views are breathtaking. We (me, my wife and a 1yo baby) started at the side near downtown (cableway), and then you walk towards Camps Bay, gaining a little altitude. Then above the far end of Camps Bay we started the descent. We then walked along the streets, between the amazing mansions and stunning views als the way to be beach. Did a picnic on the beach, before taking an Uber back to downtown. I can really recommend this walk to anyone who wants an easy and safe hike, max 3 hours, doable while carrying a baby.

The Pipe Track is a beautiful route taking you along one face of Table Mountain. Views look out over Lions Head, Clifton, Camps Bay, The Twelve Apostles and more. The route is great in the morning as it is shaded and only gets afternoon sun. Having said that, sunsets are beautiful from here. There are also a number of routes to the top of Table Mountain from the Pipe Track. Safety is something to be aware of so its worth checking the SANPARKS page for info on this.

Very pleasant walking path that links Kloof Nek to Camps Bay. Good views of Camps Bay along the route with very little incline on the return walk. A good path for a nice quick trail run or leisurely stroll on the weekend. Plenty of foot traffic so one of the safer paths for smaller groups.
