Table Mountain

Historical landmark
7 kms
Table Mountain and surrounding mountain ranges boast the best environs for rock climbing, abseiling and kloofing. If you're after gentler mountain activities, you'll be thrilled with the Peninsula's variety of mountain bike and hiking trails. There's something for all fitness levels. On November 11, 2011, Table Mountain was named among the New 7 Wonders of Nature, following a lengthy international public voting process. You can get to the top of Cape Town’s most famous icon in just five minutes by taking a cable car up, or spend the better part of your day hiking it. Table Mountain is known for its rich bio-diversity and is home to over 1 500 species of plants (more than the number found throughout the entire British Isles), most of them fynbos, which forms one of the world’s six plant kingdoms all on its own. At its highest point, Table Mountain reaches 1 085m (3 560ft) and affords views all the way to Robben Island and beyond.
