Lion's Head
At one point there is an alternate route for the not so adventurous. Breathtaking 360° view from the summit and stunning photo opportunities. Return via the same route. Moderate easy with exposed summit ridge scramble.
4 hoursTable Mountain National Park 8001 South Africa
We then traverse via St Michael Peak (900m / 2953ft) with views over the ‘Back Table’ and the two historic reservoirs, False Bay and Hout Bay. After we have explored the Western Table to the Upper Cable Station, we take the cable car down. If the cable car is not in operation due to strong wind or poor weather, we walk down the Platteklip Gorge Route which takes approx 1.5 - 2 hours.
5 hoursKirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Start at 180m / 591ft to highest point 1085m / 3560ft = total climb of 905m / 2969ft. Distance: approx. 6 – 7 km (4miles)
6 hoursPlatteklip Gorge
Platteklip Gorge route is the most direct and popular route up Table Mountain. The gorge is rocky with steep steps (more than 800) that are high and uneven in places with no water or shade along the way. The Cable Car takes 4 min down, but please keep in mind that the cable car doesn’t operate in high wind and adverse weather. This route has caught many a casual hiker (without a guide) unawares due to inappropriate footwear, lack of water and sudden changes in weather. In summer a very early start is essential to avoid the intense heat and lack of shade up the gorge. The hike is physically demanding and rated as moderate to tough, depending on your fitness and the weather. Start: 400m / 1312ft - highest point reached: 1025m / 3363ft above sea level. Distance approx. 3km (1.86miles) Time to the top 1.5hr – 3 hours depending on your fitness level.
