Why it's worth your time
Cecilia is the lesser-used forested flank of the mountain. Gentle climbing, big trees, and a contour-path view without the Skeleton Gorge crowds. A good pre-Kirstenbosch walk.
What we love
Finishing in the gardens with a coffee.
What to know
Park at Cecilia Forest; connect to the contour path. Combine with a Kirstenbosch afternoon.
