Picnic Hill

Going to picnic

I faked a walk-by and then sneaked up behind these four waking up the Tygerberg Hill for a picnic under the pine trees. Warm and sunny day’s like today are perfect for taking the short walk up the steep tared road to the top of the hill.

The entrance fee to the reserve is R10 per person (and I think R5 per child). The top of the hill is wonderfully cool on hot summer days and the reserve provides sturdy tables and benches for you to sit at while enjoying your picnic – free from ants and other insects who may otherwise conspire to rob you of you rations.

If you’re unsure of how to find the reserve’s parking area – in this post I’ve added a link to a Google map that illustrates the path to the top of the hill.

And there are all manner of exciting little bulbs and flowers that come up in the renosterveld on Tygerberg.

Cape Town has so many stunning picnic areas. If I lived in the Cape I would picnic every weekend.

Yes there are Caroline! The variety of plants on that hill is hectic!
Firefly – we’re so lucky hey. We live about 25km from Table Mountain. I tell you, those folk who live a few km away are totally blessed!
