I got very sweaty on the hike to the top, but it was well worth it. Wish I had more water with me for the way up. I loved this hike and would do it again. The cable car is cool, but I didn't really enjoy it. More

Here's a huge tip for all those visiting Cape Town and pre-booking a day tour to Table Mountain. Do not pre-book. If, it is a cloudy day with high wind, they will simply, close this attraction. Your tour money is wasted ! It is like visiting Paris and not getting to see the Eiffel Tower ! The best way is... More

A tip is to buy your cable car ticket online, as there is always a queue to purchase tickets at one of Africa's most well know tourist attractions. Once I got to the top station, I could see why!! So beautiful, so awe inspiring,so peaceful - even amongst the maddening crowd! More

Always a highlight of any visit to Cape Town. Use the Table Mountain advisory telephone centre to get up to date information on weather and conditions. Book online to avoid queues on good weather days. Make use of the wonderful walking paths on the summit for best experience! More

Took 3 days for cloud to clear off the mountain top - but well worth the trip once I got there. The cafe staff at the top were the most unhelpful staff I met in South Africa, but overlooked that as the views are spectacular More
