Route: 

​

The path begins gradually and becomes increasingly steep approaching the summit. It is the most popular route that will take you up to the top of Table Mountain, with a panoramic view of the southern suburbs, Robben Island, Camps Bay beach and Hout Bay in the distance. It is worth climbing this spectacular mountain . During the ascent, we could encounter the endemic Sugarbirds of the Cape, the orange-breasted Nectarinia and beautiful species of Fynbos, such as Erica abietina and the Protea nitida.

What to wear:

• Comfortable footwear (hiking boots or running shoes)

• The weather is unpredictable in the mountain so please bring a raincoat and wear layers of clothes so you can take off and on.

• Water (at least 1 litre if it is a hot day even more, a cup every 60 minutes)

• Sunblock, daypack, camera and hat in summer

• Long pants, beanie and gloves in winter
