Table Mountain

3 hours

Hiking Table Mountain is one of the best activities in Cape Town and the adventurous India Venster route is a classic! This challenging and spectacular ascent on the north face of Table Mountain offers stupendous views over the Mother City, Kloof Corner, Lion’s Head and Camps Bay. Visit the famous “Window” which together with India Ravine gives this route its name. This is a moderate to strenuous hike with some rock scrambling and exposure to heights. You need to be comfortable with exposure (vertical drops) and using your hands to negotiate a number of B-grade rock pitches. In the crux section there are steel staples and chains to aid the hiker. Adventure and views aside there'll also be a focus on interpreting the natural and cultural elements of Table Mountain and Cape Town which adds so much to your experience. Persons with genuine fear of heights / falling as well as persons with poor balance should not opt for doing this hike. A better alternative is Kasteelspoort.

I made this trip in December 2019, with my son. The cloud was low and for a lot of the time we couldn’t see if there was a 10 meter drop or a 200 meter drop. It took us 2–3 hours to walk up
It was a real experience.
