A fantastic hike with our fantastic guide Lynette. We recommend it for everyone. And by the way - we hiked up AND down (since the cable car wasn't running).

We had thought about just climbing table mountain on our own but were so glad we chose a guided climb. Our guide Lynette managed the pace of our hike expertly, keeping us going but making sure we stopped to hydrate. She also was extremely knowledgeable about Table Mountain and that added to the experience. Would highly recommend.

I did two hikes with Table Mountain Walks. The first was supposed to be sunrise hike on Lions Head. My hotel was supposed to arrange transportation for me to the trailhead (around 4am) but the taxi never arrived so I wasn't able to join. Table Mountain Walks were able to find me an alternate guide to take me on a sunset hike instead which worked out perfectly after the initial early AM disappointment. I then did a second hike up Table Mountain with their guide Liesl who was absolutely the best!! It's also wonderful being able to hire and hike with a female guide for a change! loved it. Margaret was also super communicative via email and so easy to work with - highly recommend them.

A group of 6, mostly 60s, did the hike up table mountain with Liesl, who was an absolutely brilliant guide- so kind, so knowledgeable - she really put our group at ease instantly and made sure everyone had a great time. It was the highlight of our trip and would strongly recommend Table Mountain Walks.

Excellent from start to finish! I reached out to Margaret via WhatsApp who was exceptionally helpful and advised us on the hike which suited us best…and she was right, we loved it!
Kathy was our tour guide and she was great at directing us with the scrambles of the India Venster route as well as being really knowledgeable and friendly, giving us lots of information as we walked.
We were also very lucky to have our trip planned for 5:30am on New Year’s Day! We really appreciated Kathy accommodating us with this date and time so we could fit it into our holiday.
Would highly recommend for anyone to book a tour with these!
Thanks again!

We booked a guide to show us around the local mountain areas in Cape Town , as being fairly new to hiking we felt we needed an experienced Guide to show us the ropes !
Margaret took us on 3 amazing hikes , we felt extremely safe and had a amazing time , the routes were perfect for our abilities, albeit at times it was a. challenge- it was a great feeling to get to the top and spend time taking in the great views - and admiring the wild flowers , the snacks provided were a lovely extra/ yummy flapjacks !
Overall a great experience and one j would highly recommend.
Thanks

We had an amazing experience. We did two hikes and both guides were so lovely. They know a lot and are more than happy to share all their experiences. Highly recommended! :-)

We had a fabulous hike on Table mountain. Communication with Margret was wonderful, very prompt and accessible. Lynette our guide was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable.
This is a the second time we have hiked with Margaret’s company Table Mountain Walks. Highly recommended.

We did the Kasteelspoort hike with our guide Kathy. She arrived on time, made sure we were well equipped with the right clothes and water, and even agreed to make a little pit stop for us coffee addicts so we could get caffeinated for the day.
Kathy was really friendly and patient throughout the whole hike, and was informative with the plant life that we encountered along the trail. Kasteelspoort is a long but very beautiful trail, and also a much quieter route, allowing one to take in the surroundings. I would highly recommend this walk up the mountain.
It was a windy day hence we were unable to take the cable car down as planned, however Kathy gave us the option of extending the hike so we go down Platteklip Gorge which we went with. Overall a long but very enjoyable hike and was the highlight of our trip to Cape Town. Would highly recommend!

If i could only do one walk/hike, which would you recommend? Table Mountain walk or Lion's Head walk?
Thanks,
Carmela

I would do Table Mountain. Lion's Head is also lovely but does get busy. I also do Lion's Head for the sunrise so with the very early start you are finished around 8.30a.m. so you could possibly do both but not on the same day!

Hi, how fit do you need to be to do this walk? My father, 67 and uncle 72 are visiting Cape Town in March for the first time, I would like to see if we can do this as this would be very special. They are not hikers but they are both in good health conditions.

Thanks you for your enquiry. A reasonable to good level of fitness is preferable. The route is steep and all stepped so especially for an older person regular aerobic exercise is a prerequisite.. The terrain is uneven in places so good balance is essential - the route is not technical but most would regard it as strenuous.

Can tickets be purchased AT the cable car or do they need to be purchased online in advance?

You can buy them at the cableway station or online in advance.
