While on your next vacation to Cape Town, set aside some time to take a day trip to Table Mountain and see the beautiful sights that this wonderfully eclectic city has in store. Read on to discover all about your day trip to this marvel of nature.

Take in Africa's Most Epic View

The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park and was voted as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, competing against major global attractions. A climb up to Table Mountain offers unprecedented views which really have to be seen to be believed. However, before you venture up to the top, be sure to take into consideration these hiking and safety tips, because it is of course a high climb:
  1. Hike with a friend, or in a group
  2. Come prepared with plenty of water, sunscreen and check the weather before you go
  3. Stay responsible and don't litter, disturb animals or wildlife during the hike

Go Up the Cableway

Although many choose to hike up to the summit, there is an easier way to get to the top! An easy and incredibly scenic way up is by the aerial cableway which takes just 5 minutes and offers 360° views over beautiful Cape Town. Over 20 million people have taken this trip, a testament to how beautiful it is. As you rise from almost sea level, incredible views of Cape Town and the ocean emerge before your eyes. If you choose this route up, you will be traveling in the footsteps of King George VI, Oprah Winfrey and Queen Elizabeth II. Whichever route you choose to take to the top, you will be well rewarded for your efforts at the summit!

Take in Panoramic Summit Views

At the summit, you will be welcomed by panoramic viewpoints, food and beverage outlets, shops, and various walking trails. The main feature is, of course, the plateau, which is 3 kilometers wide from side to side and surrounded by magnificent cliffs. On the east side you will find Devil’s Peak and to the west is the Lion’s Head, aptly named due to its naturally formed shape in the form of a lion's head. Combined with Table Mountain, these hills form the famous, dramatic backdrop to the city. The characteristic flat top of the mountain is often covered by some very special clouds known as orographic clouds, which are formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air. Moisture then condenses into a shape looking much like a blanket or a tablecloth. According to legend, this phenomenon was the result of a smoking contest between the local pirate Van Hunks, and the Devil himself.

After you've hiked to the top, the next must-do would be to enjoy everything else that the city has to offer. Take a dip in the waters of the pristine beaches at Clifton or head underwater in one of the many great diving spots. If you want to discover this wonderful city for yourself, choose one of our many Radisson Hotels in Cape Town such as the beautiful setting of Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town, or the hip rooftop at Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
