Constantiaberg Mast Hike

This Friday we had a small, but fantastic group of super hikers set on reaching the mast in Constantiaberg. It is actually the same area as the Elephant's Eye hike that I did back in October, but this time we went past the eye and on to the elusive mast! The hike was so hot that a dip in the reservoir at the bottom felt amazing. Another fun hike in South Africa to make another perfect Friday.

View across the reservoir. The mast is just visible at the top. 

That was the goal. 

Just starting out, looking fresh and excited.

It was an amazing hike. Beautiful flowers and spectacular views.

It was so hot that we were all looking for ways to get cool.

Steep trail, sun beating down, but we must make it to the mast!

Victory!

It was worth it for the incredible 360 degree view of South Africa.

We even got to see the endangered spotted leopard toad!

Asking some locals if the water is deep enough to jump off the bridge.

Yep!
