 Table Mountain by JackiKasner
Table Mountain was so named because it is very flat on top and has steep sides.
The mountain is part of a range of mountains and hills that stretch from the city centre southwards to Cape Point, a distance of about 50 km.
There are over 550 walks on Table Mountain, from easy, flat walks to difficult rock climbs.
But if hiking is not for you, there is a cablecar.
It's not built for nothing you know...
If you are daring you may want to try paragliding, bungee jumping, rock climbing or mountain biking.
The mountain is covered in "fynbos", the type of plant found in small parts of the Cape area and nowhere else on earth. There are more species of plant on Table Mountain than there are in the whole of Sweden (which is an area over 1000 times larger!).
A fynbos plant which you might already know is "rooibos" which is used to make a delicious and healthy tea.
The cable cars depart every 10-15 minutes so you will never have to wait very long!!!

This is well worth doing, even if like me, you've abseiled before. Costs about 300 rand with souvenir cap. Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes as once you've abseiled off you have to walk back up again!!!
The guys who run this are there from early morning until around 15.00hrs. Make sure you book a slot if you are up there on a busy day. If you take a camera they will take some pictures for you and return the camera when you have walked back to the top. Leave a Comment

Check out the cable car rates and operating hours from their webpage because they tend to change from season to season. Leave a Comment

 Table Mountain by Myndo
The lower part is slowly ascending, the upper part is steep. And that is the difference to the other Mountains on the Cape. Because there is not only the Table Mountain alone, but there are many mountains along the coast.
There are possibilities to walk up the Table Mountain, but we did as most do: take the cable railway.
To get to the ground station you can take the Bus or one of the MiniCabs.
I was a little amused, to see its a Rotair - that means it is turning during your ride, so you can see the whole landscape - wherever you stand in the Cabin.
Its actually the exactly same Rotair we have on Titlis in Switzerland.
On the top of the Table Mountain you have a magnificient view - on all sides, if you walk a little. The Town, the sea and the islands in front of the land.
There are a lot of Dassies around. (Klippschiefer?), they are cute, looking like big guineapigs, but they are actually the closest relatives to the elefants.
Return ticket was 65 Rand (2000) Leave a Comment

The cable car up to the top of Table Mountain first started running on 4 Oct 1929. The cable car company is planning some specials to celebrate it's 75th anniversary but do not hold your breath too much.
It is a wonderfull experience to go up to the mountain and then walk around and a definate must for all visitors because the view is just fantastic.
This picture was taken Saturday 1 Oct 2004 from the cable car and you can see Lion's head to the left.
Cost: Adult R125.00 Leave a Comment

 View from the top of Table
Moutain by dejavu2gb
If you walk around the top of the mountain you can see all the lovely beaches below as well as the city centre.
The views are totally spectacular, and very very worth while, you cannot possibly visit Cape Town withough going up the mountain.
You there 2 ways to get up, one is to hike up the mountain, there are several paths you can follow, the other option is to take the cable car, it only takes about 5 minutes to reach the top, it also revolves as it goes up, giving all the passengers a good view as you go up the mountain. Leave a Comment Directions: There are signs all over the city centre, indicating how to get to table mountain. If that fails, just head for the moutain, you cannot miss it.Website: http://www.tablemountain.net
