A trip up the famous Table Mountain is one of the tourist highlights Cape Town has to offer. It can only be done on days when the mountain is not covered with its "table cloth" or hidden in dense fog. On sunny days it provides a fabulous panoramic view of the city, the Atlantic Ocean and the mountain tops of the Cape Peninsula.

One can access the top of Table Mountain by either taking the cableway or hiking. The cableway is obviously more popular, and since the renovation in 1998 the travel time has become substantially shorter. The cableway ride to the top only takes 2 minutes now, and every day about 2500 visitors are taken up to the 1087 meter high peak.

Climbing up Table Mountain takes a minimum of 4 hours and should only be attempted by physically very fit people. On top of Table Mountain you can go on wonderful hikes and afterwards relax in the restaurant or the cafeteria.

Be sure to walk all around the top of the mountain as you’ll witness totally different panoramic views depending on the side you’re facing.

Don’t forget to say hello to the local inhabitants – ‘Dassies’. Although related to the Elephant, the small furry creatures are very docile and laze around on the table top.
