Table Mountain - a must! At the moment (Dec 2021 - Corona) there are no waiting times at the cable car. However, an ascent by foot only gives the right kick up there. The weather must be carefully observed, otherwise it can be very dangerous when climbing or descending. Always take a windbreaker and water with you. And hat! However, it was useless for me, as there was a strong wind during this hike. You can't see it in the photos. But the train was closed because of wind and so everyone had to get off again. That pulls in, above all, you have to place every step well. You quickly slip on the boulder. Is steep. Phenomenal view above. Over the city and then on the other side over the coast with the beach resorts.

Something everyone should see who lives or travels to Cape Town. If you hike up just remember it's still a high mountain that gets some pretty serious weather. So if you are unfamiliar, ask around and always take at least 1l water, some snacks, a wind proof jacket, a hat and some money in case you decided to rather catch the cable car down. Obvious routes up include Platteklip Gorge (the main highway!) or if you want something a bit more challenging then take India Venster which starts just right of the lower cable station. The later is a 'B' route with some light but easy rock scrambles. Not suitable for anyone with a fear of heights.

The gondola turns so that you have changing views. The short hike to the top is even nicer
