Ascending the 1067m/3500 ft reputed Table Mountain via "India Venster" hiking trail was my best highlight on my trip to Cape Town. My second was tandem Paragliding from Signal Hill, my 3rd was Quad Biking with Atlantis Dunes, and my 4th was Ziplining in Constantia. I am very fond of adventure and hiking the Table Mountain was on my backlist. The hike is a bit challenging with a few rock climbing but very exhilarating with stunning views of the beautiful Cape Town, the ocean, the beaches and surrounding mountains. The hike was about 1.9 mi/3km and the round trip took us 05h15' including the tame we spent at the summit. The mountain and surrounding areas are part of a national park with admirable nature conservation undertaking, a unique endemic flora, a phenomenal heritage site worth visiting. Water is a must, consider bringing sunscreen, snacks and a jacket; wearing hiking sneakers is ideal! Rocks can be slippery.
Dear Valued Client, We're so glad to hear you had a memorable experience hiking Table Mountain, a New 7th Wonder of Nature! As Pr. Nelson Mandela put it, this mountain is a true "Gift of the World". Having hiked this natural treasure, you deserve our salute. Your feedback about this adventure is absolutely valuable to us, and we're happy to serve you again in the future. Thank you for choosing us! Warm regards, Kura Safaris Team.
The hike to the top of Table Mountain is absolutely recommended to adventure seekers and natural beauty enthusiasts visiting Cape Town. We were a family of 7 people, and we had been waiting for an opportunity to do this hike for a couple of years. Our guide Jean is very knowledgeable, fit, with a great sense of fun. We did the "India Venster" hiking trail up, and came down via "Platteklip Gorge". The hike up involves some scrambling and rock climbing with chains and staples. Challenging but breathtaking views with a sense of adventure and accomplishment. We thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are afraid of heights or are not used to rock climbing, go for Platteklip Gorge; steep but gorgeous. Remember enough water, a jacket, sunscreen and comfortable hiking shoes. Thank you Jean for making our hike even more enjoyable.
Dear Valued Client, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a thrilling review! We're delighted to know you had a fantastic time and experience climbing Table Mountain with Kura Safaris, and we hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Kura Safaris.
Incredible Hike with an incredible guide. The views of the city of Cape Town and her surroundings are second to none. Our guide Jean is full of fun and our hike was wonderful. Though our guide mentioned that the flower peak bloom occurs in spring August to September, a wide array of fynbos and wildflowers could be seen still. Lots of watsonia and a few proteas with impressive rock formations. Highly recommended for hikers and rock climbers.
Dear Valued Client, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had a great time at Table Mountain, a New World's Wonder of Nature. Hiking this majestic mountain is unequivocally one of the main activities to consider when visiting Cape Town. You made a great choice. Should you know anyone else who would enjoy this experience, please feel free to share your recommendations. We are happy to be at your service when you visit again. Warm regards, Jennifer, Kura Safaris.
I was advised by a friend of mine to reserve a day of my holiday in Cape Town just for hiking Table Mountain. So, I booked this day with Kura Safaris and Jean was my guide. We hiked from 07:30 am till 04:30 pm. We started from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens -Skeleton Gorge- to the "Diving Board" via Maclear's Beacon -highest point-. What a beautiful forest with great conservation efforts! From here we hiked to the Upper Station of the Table Mountain Aerial Cable and we enjoyed our lunch from the Table Mountain Cafe with stunning views of the enchanting city of Cape Town, the ocean and white sandy beaches. We descended overlooking the harbor, a soccer stadium, Robben Island and the port, via Platteklip Gorge, an amazing trail with steep boulders. We culminated our adventure day by exploring the Woodstock Caves situated halfway the Devils Peak. These Caves, according to my guide Jean, bear traces of early human -Khoisan- habitation, making it an important archaeological site. In addition, the mountain serves as a rich biodiversity hotspot bolstering cultural and historical importance for local communities. I will come back and I highly recommend.
Dear Valued Client, Thank you so much for your exciting feedback. We are thrilled to hear that your Table Mountain hiking adventure with us was enjoyable. This Mountain is acclaimed a Wonder of Nature and it always exhilarating climbing its gigantic rocks through dramatic rugged cliffs and incredible fynbos while exposed to breathtaking views of the entire city. We hope you will join us again in the near future to explore more. Warm regards, Jennifer, Kura Safaris.
The hike was absolutely amazing! We did the Platteklip trail and the views from the top of the trail are breathtaking! It took us 4h50 min (round). The hike is challenging, steep, but worth it! I suggest you start the hike much earlier to avoid the heat! Take at least 1.5 L of water! Our guide was knowledgeable, storyteller with extensive knowledge in SA history! I recommend Kura Safaris for your hiking adventure in Cape Town.
