Silvermine Opens in Part
1 July 2025
SANParks trails in Tokai and Silvermine open in phases from 1 July
Having closed after the April 2025 blaze, which affected 2800 hectres, trails starting at Silvermine Gate 2 (east of Ou Kaapse Weg) including paths like Waterfall, Kalk Bay, and Boyes Drive have reopened, as well as Upper Tokai.
The Levels 4 and 5 jeep tracks, remain closed due to dangerous erosion and instability.
Silvermine Gate 1 (west of Ou Kaapse Weg) including the dam, Elephant's Eye and the Riverwalk trail, are still closed until between September and December, depending on how repairs go.
Even if areas look safe please follow these guidelines for our safety and recovery of ecologically vulnerable areas.
