Each hiker is present at the RCC shop at least 20 minutes before the hike starts, so that there is enough time to fill in the waivers. Also to hand out the bracelets that indicate to which group each hiker belongs. Each participant can use one of RCC’S headlights. The RCC shop is the starting point of the hike, so when the group is complete, the hike starts immediately. There are three water-breaks in total. The schedule is coordinated in a certain way that the hikers reach the top of the Tafelberg right before the sunrise. Thereafter they enjoy the view from the top of the King Kong rock during the sunrise.  The hike goes on after the sunrise. The way back is not the same trail as the way up. The hike takes around 3-3.5 hours in total. The length of the trail is 8.5 km/5.3 miles.  Every healthy person without injuries can do this hike.  Some parts are more challenging than other parts, as you can see on the pictures.
