About this Table Mountain guide

TableMountainTrail.com is an independent guide to hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town: the routes up, from Platteklip Gorge to India Venster, Skeleton Gorge and Kasteelspoort, how long and how hard they are, staying safe, the best time to go, Lion's Head next door, the cableway and the top, along with the guided hikes sold on GetYourGuide. We are not SANParks, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, a tour operator or GetYourGuide. We compare what is on offer so you can decide whether you want a guide at all, and if so which hike.

Facts on this site are checked against official sources (Table Mountain National Park on sanparks.org, the cableway's own website, SANBI for Kirstenbosch and the New7Wonders foundation) and against the live GetYourGuide listings, including recent guest reviews. Trail conditions, cableway hours and the weather change; when an official source and this site disagree, trust the official source.
