Table Mountain is a famous South African landmark and is very popular with tourists to the area. It can take several hours to hike to the top of this sandstone mountain but once you reach the top, at 3,500 feet, the spectacular views make it all worthwhile!

From the top you get a stunning view of Table Bay, Cape Town and Robben Island which are all must see places on your visit to South Africa.

The mountain is home to such a wide variety of plant species that there is actually more of a variety on the mountain alone than there is in the entire of the United Kingdom. Because of this vast land with its rich botanical surroundings it is also home to many animals including insects, amphibians, birds, reptiles and mammals.

This somewhat challenging climb does require good level of fitness but is a great adventure to make your South African holiday one to remember.
