Table Mountain
Towering 1,085 m above Cape Town, Table Mountain is often covered with cloud known as “the table cloth”, giving the mountain its name. From the top you can take in the spectacular views of the city, the coastline, the ocean, Robben Island and Cape Peninsula.
The journey to the top of Table Mountain is best enjoyed in the cable car which has a rotating floor to ensure you get a 360 degree view, while the journey down can include an opportunity to do the longest commercial abseil in the world. Table Mountain is also a place of richly diverse flora and fauna as the flat-topped sandstone plateau was formed 600 million years ago.
There are a number of walking and hiking opportunities on Table Mountain, as well as rock-climbing routes. You can simply stroll along in the cool shade of indigenous forest or go hiking for a few days. Whichever you choose you won't be disappointed.
