Hike Table Mountain

Cape Trekking specializes in Table Mountain guided tours on its main routes and the less walked hiking trails of Cape Town's famous massif. Get great city views from Devil's Peak; scramble India Venster, climb Skeleton Gorge and explore the beautiful Back Table.

For quick ascents take a route to the Upper Cable Station & ride down by cable car.

The most straightforward hike up is Platteklip Gorge.

Also on the front of the mountain is the more challenging India Venster (requires some scrambling.)

Devil's Peak:

This massif jutting out of Table Mountain offers unique views of Cape Town from a thousand meters high.

Or, skip the final push to the very top, and reach its lovely contour paths, cross rocky streams and gorges high above the City Bowl where sugar-birds hang out in protea groves.

With Table Mountain as a dramatic backdrop take brief scrambles to historic vantage points, and caves still used for worship.

If you'd like to hike up the restricted-entry Disa Gorge, please find more info here.

Or hike up to spend the night on the mountain.
