“Be Prepared”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

Some incredible times await if you try one of the many walks up the mountain but only if you go prepared. Take the Mountain for granted and you could get stung. Do a bit of research and preferrably get a good mountain guide and you will be overwhelmed by its beauty. Do not underestimate the power of this mountain and... More

“Beats trying to do it on your own”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

The tour guides can be a bit more interesting and give their groups a bit more time to enjoy the walk. The mountain is awesome and interesting even if you do it on your own. Definitely helps clear your lungs. More

“Climb up Table Mountain - you can do it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2012

We walked up Table Mountain last November. It's a 3 hours walk (we started at Platteklip Gorge). It"s not too exhausting and I promise: you will enjoy the view even more when you climbed up all by yourself. Bring food and drink and start early in the morning as it"s less crowded. Take warm clothes as the weather on top... More

“Table Mountain: why it's one of the world's 7 wonders of nature”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2012

Getting back to nature a few miles from a metropolis is what you are able to do on Table Mountain. Young and old (and their dogs) climb the mountain daily and it includes short walks, major hikes, mountain climbing routes, abseiling, several dams to visit, caves, natural forest, a waterfall, rock pools, ruins, restaurant plus botanical gardens, a granite monument...

“What a Memory”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2012

I would highly recommend Margret of Table Mountain Walks. We just had an adventure to remember on our Skeleton Gorge/ Maclears beacon hike. Unfamiliar with table mountain, we would not have been able to navigate this mountain w/o the guidance, encouragement, knowledge and company of Margret, who has been a guide for 15 years. At the end of our day... More

I enjoyed a wonderful climb/walk via skeleton gorge from Kirstenbosch up the "back side" of Table Mountain. We wer going to do a up and down, but once we got to the top op the gorge, decided to walk to Mc Clear's Beacon - the highest part of Table Mountain. We then decided to walk along the Table Top towards... More
