    Walked Otter in 1976. Shelters - no doors, windows or chairs, beds etc. No toilets or ablutions. Finished in 3 and a half days. Would not say it is greatest in SA but worth adding to your bucket list. Have done most other trails including all of Table Mountain. My son's first ascent was Woodhead Buttress when he was 10 months old on his fathers back. Fish River 3x. I am now 83 with back problems otherwise would still be out there with a backpack. Happy walking.

    Did the Otter Trail in September 2007; I was visiting one of my best friends who lived in Cape Town and he said I should see if any spots were available and sure enough there was one space open! Without a doubt the most amazing 5 days of my life in the outdoors. I never did see the otters, but I did get to see lots of whales and dolphins. Thanks for sharing this!

      @@ArnoPouwels I would love to, especially with my wife and kids (I was single back in 2007). Have you ever been to the Cederberg? I did a 4-day backpacking trip there as well and thought it was fantastic in very different ways.
