Walking tours of the sweet waters of Camissa.
The Table Bay has paired up with the Camissa Project to offer the extraordinary authentic South African Experience that is guided walking tours. These tours are of the sweet, underground springs after which the Camissa Brassiere is named.
Visitors will have the opportunity to use the Camissa Brassiere as a launching pad to explore the springs and other interesting yet largely forgotten landmarks along the route, culminating at the restaurant for a delicious meal.
Sarah Prins, Public Relations Manager at the Table Bay says “Locals and people visiting our city have a clear and decided appetite for exploring Cape Town’s rich cultural and environmental heritage. We are pleased to give our guests the opportunity to learn more about Camissa and its significance to Cape Town’s sustainability. The Camissa Springs, hidden and lost beneath Cape Town, are deeply-linked with the Cape’s vital ecological and cultural history, and are inextricably-linked with its future”.
The tours incorporate a two hour above the ground tour and will be available from the Table Bay. Starting in Deer Park, and continuing on to De Grendel, walkers will begin their descent following the water to pass places like Platteklip dam and the old slow sand filter of 1989. The tour continues to follow the Platteklip stream passing several landmarks along the way. Eventually the route diverts back to the mountain run off stream and ends at a manhole on Buitenkant Street.
