QUESTION: My family is considering hiking the Otter Trail in the Tsitsikama National Park. Is there an age restriction - my son is 16 years old and my father-in-law is a very fit 68? Can hikers use cell phones on the hike, how much does it cost and how far in advance do we need to book? - Tommy James
ANSWER: Hikers must be aged 12-65, so your dad-in-law cannot join you. Cell phones are permitted on the hike, but reception is patchy and there is no reception at the sleeping huts. A hiking permit costs R420 per person and you should try to book far in advance, up to 12 months ahead, or else you will have to rely on cancellations. For further information and reservations, check www.sanparks.org or telephone 012-426-5111.
