Green & Blue Mountain Trails – Guided Hiking in the Overberg

The Green Mountain Trail and the Blue Mountain Trail are two of South Africa’s most celebrated guided slackpacking experiences, both set in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom in the scenic Overberg region. These trails are designed for hikers who want to enjoy the beauty of nature without the burden of carrying heavy packs, with luggage transfers and comfortable accommodation included.

The Green Mountain Trail is a four-day journey around the world’s first biodiversity wine route, the Green Mountain Eco Route. Along the way, you’ll hike through pristine fynbos, orchards, vineyards, and farmland while learning about the rich ecology and culture of the region. Tastings of local wines and hearty meals add a unique flavour to this unforgettable hiking experience.

The Blue Mountain Trail offers a three-day hiking adventure through the majestic Agulhas Plain. Here, you’ll walk across mountain ridges, valleys, and streams while exploring one of the most botanically diverse areas on the planet. With expert guides, evenings spent in the welcoming Wildekrans Country House, and delicious meals prepared with local flair, this trail is as much about cultural immersion as it is about the landscapes.

Both trails are fully guided, making them accessible for groups, couples, or solo hikers who want to deepen their connection with nature while enjoying comfort and hospitality along the way. Whether you choose the Green or the Blue, you’ll leave with a profound appreciation for the Overberg’s unique natural and cultural heritage.
