Review & FAQ:

The iconic flat-topped Table Mountain stands guard over one of the most interesting and diverse landscapes in the world in Cape Town, at the southernmost tip of the African continent.

Table Mountain, which was selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature in 2012, is surrounded by Table Mountain National Park, home to the Cape Floral Region, where many species of endemic plants, unique to the region, can be seen.

Table Mountain is a very popular hiking destination and you have the option of hiking to the summit and then taking the revolving cable-car back to the base. The mountain offers wonderful 360-degree views of the beautiful Cape Peninsula.
