Hely-Hutchinson Resevoir on Table Mountain.Fénykép: Dylan Blake, The Umvoto Foundation
Set against the backdrop of recurring droughts and a growing urban population, this guided hike traces the development of Cape Town’s water supply and the remarkable infrastructure built in response. Along the way, hikers gain insight into the geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, climatology and environmental history of the southwestern Cape, while experiencing the unique heritage of the Table Mountain National Park landscape.
Developed by the Umvoto Foundation in collaboration with Forge and funded by the 35IGC Legacy Fund, the trail forms part of a broader geoheritage and geotourism initiative aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Supported by an interactive app and guidebook, the Table Mountain Dams Geotrail invites walkers to deepen their understanding of Cape Town’s natural and cultural history and to play a role in preserving this heritage for future generations.
