The Otter Trail is one of South Africa’s most famous hiking trails, located in the Tsitsikamma National Park along the Garden Route. The trail is approximately 45 kilometers long and take 4-5 days to complete. You need a permit if you want to hike more than the first leg. We only hiked the first leg and it was amazing, difficult, we had to climb over rocks and then got stuck down on the beach as the tide was coming in. Quite the adventure. This was one of the more difficult hikes we have done. Up and over rocks, it was spectacular and slippery at the same time. We loved it.
