???? Hooked on Hiking - Half Collared Kingfisher Trail, Wilderness, Garden Route of South Africa ????
Approx 10 km hike across the river and up to the Waterfalls where you can take a cooling dip before heading back again. They were muddy this day on account of recent heavy rainfalls so we gave that a miss.
The almost eerie mist and humidity made the walk among the lush ferns and tall vegetation phenomenal. The sounds of the river tumbling over rocks below is magical.

Forest Hike to a Waterfall: The Giant Kingfisher Trail, Wilderness in the Garden Route South Africa
Hiking through a lush indigenous forest in South Africa's Garden Route to a stunning waterfall. The Giant Kingfisher Trail is around 7km altogether and for anybody who is reasonably fit, it's doable in about 3 hours.
Most of the way is along wooden walkways which makes it fairly easy going. There are some stairs and a river crossing, and a bit of boulder hopping is needed to reach the waterfall itself.
Actually there are 2 hikes in 1. If you go the full distance as we did, it's the Giant Kingfisher Trail, there is a shorter one that doesn't got all the way to the waterfall. That's the Half Collared Kingfisher Trail. Confused? Never mind, so were we, but go anyway, whichever trail you do it's so well worth it.

An overview of some of the features of this trail, which is approximately 3 kms and takes about 2 hours to walk. In rainy weather, some of the river crossings can be tricky and one has to make use of the stepping stones. The route terminates at a small waterfall, which is sometimes a mere trickle, but after rain it is quite spectacular - not so much for its height, but for the sheer ruggedness of the landscape.
Take insect repellant, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, and water with you. The trail becomes a bit vague at certain sections - particularly at the river crossings.

Wilderness, South Africa
After leaving Cape Town, I headed down the coast of South Africa in a rental car. My first stop on the Garden Route of South Africa was the town of Wilderness and a guesthouse known as Wilderness Manor. Although I would have loved to have more time in Wilderness, I just had the one day to explore the area. I took advantage of the day by going on a waterfall hike along a trail called the Collared Kingfisher Trail. The trail showed just how diverse the landscapes are in South Africa. It really was a beautiful hike. Lots of birds, and lots of beautiful scenery.

We travel to Wilderness to experience the Half Collared Kingfisher Trail. We set out to hike through the calming shaded trees headed towards the waterfall. Definitely one of my favorite hikes thus far!
