What our customers ask about Table Mountain Tours & Trips
How crowded does Table Mountain get and when are the quietest times to visit?
Table Mountain draws large crowds particularly during summer (December-February) between 10am-3pm. Visitors seeking a quieter experience should plan their visit before 9am or after 4pm. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Taking the first cable car up at 8am was perfect - we had the summit almost to ourselves for an hour before the crowds arrived." Hotels like the Cape Grace arrange early morning departures helping guests avoid the busiest periods especially around the Upper Cable Station.
What wildlife might I encounter during a Table Mountain Mountain tour?
The mountain's ecosystem supports distinctive wildlife including the rare Table Mountain Ghost Frog and Rock Hyrax (dassies). A TourRadar traveler shared "Watching the dassies sunbathe on the rocks while staying at the Acadia House was a highlight." The environment supports more than 2200 plant species with notable residents like the Silver Tree and various proteas. Bird enthusiasts can spot Black Eagles Rock Kestrels and Sunbirds along routes like India Venster and near the Cape Town Hollow Boutique Hotel observation area.
Can I combine a Table Mountain Mountain tour with other Cape Town attractions?
Many tours connect Table Mountain with key Cape Town sites. The V&A Waterfront sits just 15 minutes from the Protea Balalaika Hotel while the colorful Bo-Kaap district makes an easy addition. One TourRadar traveler shared "We combined our morning Table Mountain hike with an afternoon Cape Peninsula tour." Popular pairings include Kirstenbosch Gardens Signal Hill sunset views and Lions Head full moon walks. Many visitors end their day at Camps Bay Beach or enjoy South African dishes at the Table Mountain Café.
What are the best viewpoints for photography on Table Mountain Mountain tours?
The mountain offers key photo spots across its network of trails. The main deck near the cable station reached from Onomo Inn On The Square provides views spanning Cape Town Robben Island and the Atlantic. A TourRadar traveler noted "The Maclear's Beacon viewpoint offered incredible 360-degree views of the peninsula." The Western Table features dramatic cliffs while the Valley of the Red Gods showcases distinct rock formations. Morning tours from Cape Town Hollow Boutique Hotel catch the soft early light perfect for photos.
What unique flora can I expect to see during a Table Mountain Mountain tour?
The mountain stands as part of the Cape Floral Kingdom with over 1460 plant species many found nowhere else. A TourRadar traveler at Agulhas Country Lodge observed "The diversity of fynbos vegetation was incredible especially the King Protea flowers." Tours from Kirstenbosch highlight Silver Trees orchids and the Table Mountain Ghost Frog's environment. Spring visits (September-November) reveal peak wildflower displays while Skeleton Gorge shows off native Afromontane forest plants.
How challenging are the hiking trails on Table Mountain Mountain tours?
The mountain provides paths for every skill level. Platteklip Gorge offers a straightforward but steep 2-3 hour climb. A TourRadar traveler at SunSquare Cape Town Gardens shared "The India Venster route was challenging but incredibly rewarding with its dramatic views." Skeleton Gorge presents a gentle forest ascent from Kirstenbosch while Kasteelspoort reveals Atlantic panoramas. Guide teams check conditions daily to match routes with group abilities.
