Boesmanskloof

The Boesmanskloof (Greyton–McGregor) Trail is a one-way hike of about 14 km through fynbos and mountain scenery in South Africa’s Overberg. Many people treat it as a long day hike; my published trip was a 2-day out-and-back.

It’s shorter than the alpine hut circuits on this site, but still needs permits, water planning and respect for heat and sun. The trail links the towns of Greyton and McGregor and sits in a different climate and logistics world than Iceland or the Alps.
