Garnett Snyman

Hi, I am from South Africa and love the idea of what KZread could be (a safe haven for social media addicts 😁).

Some Q/A

My age?
I'm 26 or born in 1993.

My dream for this channel?
To make it a place of sanctuary, interaction and escape.

Education?
No film education, like most KZreadrs, I'm self-taught.

I hope you feel right at home.

    Ok everything is clear. I appreciate for your answer. One more question: are there any entrance fee to National Park with hiking routes in Cape Town? I am asking because in my country sometimes you need to buy on-line ticket on website to National Parks. And what about other hikes like Lion's Head - do you need a map to follow the trails or there is only one that takes you straight to summit? This is completely unknown land to me, I live far away but I would like to arrive their next summer🙂. I saw on movie as well that Table Mountain is a bit demanding route escpecialy near summit - I mean chains& ladders. So propably you need a harness for your secure, I am wandering what is your opinion about it? Any tip you would like to share it?😊

  • @garnettsnyman
    @garnettsnymanАй бұрын

    @@dominikabobula4717 Hi, so all hikes up Table Mountain is obviously challenging because of the incline, but ive found only 3 of the 13 peaks to be risky, lions head has two/three small chain ladders but there is a route to avoid 1 of them, and by far lions head is the easiest to navigate. There is no fee involved on table mountain for about 80% of the hikes, the ones you pay for is silvermine nature reserve, chapmans peak and kirstenbosch gardens if you decide to park there. I hope this helps

    I have one more guestions. What about a hiking trails in Cape Town: are they well described, I mean are there any crypto signs on the way to summit that you do not get lost? Can you hike alone without any mountain guide? Or for first time it is better to book a trip if you are not familiar with neighboorhood? What kind of digital map did you use during your mountain adventure? Is it safe to walk there in group of 2-3 people? I will appreciate for your answer. The views are marvelous 😊

  • @garnettsnyman

    Hi, you can definitely do it with a friend or two, don’t need a guide and this actually one of those hikes that you don’t really need a map because you just go on the route that goes up to devils peak. However the marking isn’t to great but you can always screenshot the route on all trails that is what I did 😁. It is also fairly popular which means there will be others to join you, just follow them.
