Snow on the Stellenbosch Mountains

If you caught our stories over the weekend you would have seen how over-excited we were about the snow falling on the Stellenbosch mountains. As our Whatsapp’s blew up with video footage of snow on Table Mountain, we couldn’t help but be more enthralled by the Stellenbosch mountains, which revealed their snowy caps as soon as we took a drive into town (we were staying in the area for the weekend).

Having left our accommodation and wondering what to do, all plans were suddenly cancelled as we saw the stunning mountain tops! We set out to try get closer. Not entirely sure of the best route, we took a detour through Cloetesville, over the Hells Hoogte and up to Delaire Graff – which delivered exquisite views of the white capped peaks.

[UPDATE: AUG 2024] Now that the rain has lifted in Cape Town, we can still see the snow peaked mountains from our apartment. A stunning, wintery view over the Mother City.

Here are some of the snowy pictures we took. Please do not use without permission.
