Take a Hike. Make a Friend.

Making friends in Cape Town can sometimes feel like climbing a mountain. So why not actually climb one?
Hiking with Ledi is a Cape Town-based hiking community that brings together people from different backgrounds through a shared love of the outdoors. What began as a small group of friends has grown into a welcoming Pan-African community where meeting new people is as much a part of the experience as reaching the summit.

The group organises weekly Saturday hikes around Cape Town, with routes ranging from relatively easy walks to more challenging mountain adventures. Experienced volunteer pace leaders help keep everyone together, making it a good option for people who'd rather not tackle unfamiliar trails alone.
Come for the mountain views. You might leave with a few new friends.

BEFORE YOU GO
Hikes generally take place on Saturdays, with routes and difficulty levels announced beforehand. There's a small administration fee, and participants must complete an indemnity form. Choose a route suited to your fitness level, bring water and appropriate walking shoes, and confirm the meeting point with the organisers. You don't need to arrive with a group of friends.
