A tough climb starts your day but from there on in it's plain sailing along the cliffs to Natures Valley.
Hikers must now check in at the Natures Valley Sanparks camp where youu must sign out and you will be issued a Otter Trail Certificate :)
I highly recommned you trek the short 2.5km to the Natures valley Restaurant for some glorius food and a cold beer. This is the perfect place to wait for a transfer or your fellow hikers to catch up.
Although tired and sore, you will not want to leave this paradise. Take comfort in knowing you are now one of a very privileged group of people who have completed the Otter Trail.
Tips for Day 5:
- There is no rush - take it slow and enjoy it while it lasts.
- Stop in at the restaurant at Natures Valley - they have Otter Trail certificates and a traditional 'shot' that all hikers must indulge in - not to mention the GREAT food!
