My Best Highlight in Cape Town - Ascending the 1067m/3500 ft reputed Table Mountain via "India Venster" hiking trail was my best highlight on my trip to Cape Town. My second was tandem Paragliding from Signal Hill, my 3rd was Quad Biking with Atlantis Dunes, and my 4th was Ziplining in Constantia. I am very fond of adventure and hiking the Table Mountain was on my backlist. The hike is a bit challenging with a few rock climbing but very exhilarating with stunning views of the beautiful Cape Town, the ocean, the beaches and surrounding mountains. The hike was about 1.9 mi/3km and the round trip took us 05h15' including the tame we spent at the summit. The mountain and surrounding areas are part of a national park with admirable nature conservation undertaking, a unique endemic flora, a phenomenal heritage site worth visiting. Water is a must, consider bringing sunscreen, snacks and a jacket; wearing hiking sneakers is ideal! Rocks can be slippery.

Thrilling, Challenging, Breathtaking - The hike to the top of Table Mountain is absolutely recommended to adventure seekers and natural beauty enthusiasts visiting Cape Town. We were a family of 7 people, and we had been waiting for an opportunity to do this hike for a couple of years. Our guide Jean is very knowledgeable, fit, with a great sense of fun. We did the "India Venster" hiking trail up, and came down via "Platteklip Gorge". The hike up involves some scrambling and rock climbing with chains and staples. Challenging but breathtaking views with a sense of adventure and accomplishment. We thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are afraid of heights or are not used to rock climbing, go for Platteklip Gorge; steep but gorgeous. Remember enough water, a jacket, sunscreen and comfortable hiking shoes. Thank you Jean for making our hike even more enjoyable.

Magnificent Views, truly a Wonder of Nature - Incredible Hike with an incredible guide. The views of the city of Cape Town and her surroundings are second to none. Our guide Jean is full of fun and our hike was wonderful. Though our guide mentioned that the flower peak bloom occurs in spring August to September, a wide array of fynbos and wildflowers could be seen still. Lots of watsonia and a few proteas with impressive rock formations. Highly recommended for hikers and rock climbers.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE - I was advised by a friend of mine to reserve a day of my holiday in Cape Town just for hiking Table Mountain. So, I booked this day with Kura Safaris and Jean was my guide. We hiked from 07:30 am till 04:30 pm. We started from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens -Skeleton Gorge- to the "Diving Board" via Maclear's Beacon -highest point-. What a beautiful forest with great conservation efforts! From here we hiked to the Upper Station of the Table Mountain Aerial Cable and we enjoyed our lunch from the Table Mountain Cafe with stunning views of the enchanting city of Cape Town, the ocean and white sandy beaches. We descended overlooking the harbor, a soccer stadium, Robben Island and the port, via Platteklip Gorge, an amazing trail with steep boulders. We culminated our adventure day by exploring the Woodstock Caves situated halfway the Devils Peak. These Caves, according to my guide Jean, bear traces of early human -Khoisan- habitation, making it an important archaeological site. In addition, the mountain serves as a rich biodiversity hotspot bolstering cultural and historical importance for local communities. I will come back and I highly recommend.

Table Mountain hik. - The hike was absolutely amazing! We did the Platteklip trail and the views from the top of the trail are breathtaking! It took us 4h50 min (round). The hike is challenging, steep, but worth it! I suggest you start the hike much earlier to avoid the heat! Take at least 1.5 L of water! Our guide was knowledgeable, storyteller with extensive knowledge in SA history! I recommend Kura Safaris for your hiking adventure in Cape Town.

Challenging but greatly Rewarding Adventure - Absolutely phenomenal! A hike to the the top of this incredible wonder of nature was the best experience I had in Cape Town! The giant mountain standing if front you tests your physical and mental abilities! However, you won’t be alone and the results make you forget the pain once you reach the top! The unimaginable natural beauty mixed with awe-inspiring views will leave you with an experience to cherish all your entire life. I definitely recommend this activity.
