Among the trails that can be done in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, the Thomas T. Tucker trail is a very interesting choice, as it offers a beachwalk, two shipwrecks, and a trail going through the interior.
My first try to get to Olifantsbos was late in a very rainy, windy and cold afternoon, when it was already getting dark. Walking any trail was not really an option, but somehow I was attracted to this corner of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, and returned the next day, with much improved weather conditions. I parked the car, and started walking the trail. It soon led me to the beach, and after some rock-hopping, I started walking some soft, white sand in which my feet sank pretty deep. The waves were as wild as they can get at this side of the nature reserve, and they filled they air with that pleasant smell of sea and salt. Birds were screaming all around me, the strong wind was blowing white foam over the beach ahead of me, and I started to like this trail more and more as I walked on.
