Table Mountain Hike via Platteklip Gorge at Sunrise
Description
Our hiking groups are small, with a maximum of 6 participants, ensuring a more personal experience and allowing for greater interaction with your tour guide. The world belongs to those who rise early. Cape Town awakens under the powerful presence of Table Mountain, and experiencing the morning light from Table Mountain is always something truly special. There is nothing quite like watching the city come to life from above, with Table Mountain offering the closest feeling to standing at the top of the world in Cape Town. We hike up Table Mountain in the morning hours to enjoy the calm of dawn, when the trails are still quiet and uncrowded. From Table Mountain, you can watch the soft morning light spread across the city as it slowly awakens below. Even on overcast days, it remains a remarkable experience, as you are often above the clouds.

My second trip to CapeTown and I wanted to hike up Table Mountain to celebrate commencement of my 60s. 2 friends joined me. It was something truly awesome to climb above the clouds. Because it had been raining, we encountered a few waterfalls. The route chosen, at the suggestion of our guide, Patrick, was very scenic. A friend had faced difficulty during the hike, and about halfway, decided not to continue. Patrick was kind enough to escort her down to safety, and reclimbed to meet the remaining parties as we continued our way up. We all had a really wonderful experience, largely thanks to Patrick, who took very good care. Oh and I must also mention Patrick's deep knowledge of the flowers found on the mountain, and the geology of the mountain.
Hi Rebecca, all my pleasure, I also had a great time with you guy's, hope to see again down in Cape Town for more hiking!
My wife and I had a fantastic hike up Table mountain guided by Patrick. It's an early start and is definitely not for the feint hearted, but it was a very rewarding experience and highly recommended. Patrick was extremely knowledgable about the mountain, the wildlife and the history. He also made us feel comfortable and safe on what is a challenging climb. If you are fit and eager to do something really special whilst in Cape Town, then this is for you. The amazing views at the top are even better when you feel you have earned them!
Hi Platteklip is always a good workout and set you for the rest of the day! Thank-you so much for having booked the hike with me, until next visit...take care.
