From flat-topped Table Mountain down to the blue waters of Table Bay, Cape Town is simply stunning, but the city doesn't thrive by its looks alone. Proudly multicultural, its flourishing arts, dining, and nightlife scenes are proof of this modern metropolis' creativity and innovative spirit.

Platteklip Gorge is a national park trail of Table Mountain. The route that takes you the most directly up to the Cableway. Learn more about the various routes of Platteklip Gorge hike which takes place on Table Mountain tours and visit our website.
This hike is awesome, but is sold as the ‘easiest’ hike on Table Mountain, and maybe that’s true but it’s definitely not easy. Start early, sunrise or shortly after - if it’s a sunny / hot day you are in direct sun the entire hike without really any shade coverage. Bring 1 liter of water / person then fill up your bottle or buy more at the top. Eat before or bring snacks .... there’s also food at the top. This is a strenuous hike, a constant uphill and not suitable for children or the elderly. This took us about 4 hours including an hour spent at the top; and we are two people in our 30s who are very active.

Great place to hike with friends and dogs. Quite busy over weekends. Plenty of parking available. Highly recommended - magical views at top of track.

Hiking, camping and bird watching are the top attractions in this majestic wildlife sanctuary nestled on the lower slopes of Helderberg Mountain. O
I did a trail run/hike up to the top of West Peak. The bottom trails of Helderberg are well marked and utilized, however the upper trails are not as well maintained and require you to be very careful. It is well worth it for the view at the top of the mountain though! It felt safe in terms of security and the facilites at the entrance were good.

Signal Hill is so named because it was a site for flying flags to communicate weather conditions, thus providing opportune vistas of spectacular views.
Staying in Cape Town, there are a few hikes and signal hill is a must, it's not hard at all. I started the hike at the Noon Gun, from there walk up to Signal Hill and watch the paraguilding, there are a few shops that sell water and ice creams as well. From there you have two choices hike back to Noon Gun or hike towards Lions Head and Table Mountain, just depends where you have your car parked. I took the bus so I continued on towards Lions Head and got the bus from there.

The sheltered inlet of Boulders Beach is located in the Cape peninsula near Simon's Town. Here exists a protected colony of African penguins which can be viewed in their natural habitat via wooden walkways. There is also an excellent beach for swimming nearby.
This protected beach is one of the main tourist attraction in Cape Town. A few minutes walk from the main Simon’s Town, you can watch and take photo of these cute creatures in their natural habitat. In a windy day, the beach sands can be very uncomfortable to your eyes and hair though!

We hired a car to drive down to Cape Point ourselves, so that we could stop off whenever we saw something interesting. This was a good move but the exorbitant price of entry into the Cape National Park as a tourist came as a shock. Not sure it's a good message to send to visitors -you have to pay three times what a South African pays to visit this natural site of beauty. Anyway, Cape of Good Hope is awesome. The road is not particularly well signposted so watch out for it, on the right. It leads along the most spectacular bay called Dias Bay with white white sand and crashing surf and then there is the craggy Cape, the most south westerly point of the African continent. Breath taking. If you go back to the main road and continue to Cape Point it's much more touristy but still worth the views and the baboons which frequent the car park.

A relaxing outing experience so up-close and personal with nature. One is able to appreciate the value that this gorgeous little island adds to the preserving the life of its inhabitants! Superb photo opportunities, a wealth of knowledge shared by the guides, a gentle walk around the island as well as a little boat ride make for a wonderful family outing!

We visited SANCCOB yesterday and had the most fantastic tour with Alex. We adopted two African Penguins for Christmas and got to see them swimming and feeding amongst all the other penguins ... we even got to see a little chick being hand fed. What a memorable experience! We will definitely visit again and support SANCCOB - they truly do amazing work! Thank you again Alex and the Team!
