Permits

Please select annnual conservation permit category for day visitor access to Phillipskop Mountain Reserve as part of our Friends of Phillipskop scheme. Residents staying at Phillipskop or Barber’s Trail Lodge and members will also need to purchase permits if they want to do the Haarkapper Hiking Trail. Please note the rules of access and cancellation policy before purchasing. A copy of the permit must be carried with the group at all times (either printed or on a phone).

No refunds or change of dates will be given for hiking permits. This includes but not limited to unpleasant weather, illness, previously burned ground, etc. Therefore we strongly recommend only ordering hiking permits on the day of the hike (or at most the night before) once numbers are confirmed and weather conditions are predictable.

Overnight hikes. The Haarkapper Hiking trail can easily be completed in a day. If you wish to split it over two days, then accommodation and parking must be arranged through Phillipskop in advance. Separate permits will need to be purchased for each day.

Commercial tours and guides using the trail need to contact us direct (info@phillipskop.co.za) for the fee structure that will be applicable.
