• Table Mountain - This hike derives its name from the shape of the ravine located between two large rock buttresses, offering one of the best viewpoints. The trail begins behind the lower cableway station, heading directly up Table Mountain before reaching the contour path. From this point, the trail gradually ascends a gully of a buttress known as Venster Buttress and veers left below the rock amphitheater. As the trail approaches the eastern end of this amphitheater, it becomes steeper with some easy scrambling. The most exciting part is yet to come, so stay focused! Staples and chains have been installed along the way to make the climb more user-friendly and safer. After this section of climbing and scrambling, the trail meanders easily up to “The Ledge” and around the corner, where there is often a refreshing breeze and a great opportunity to enjoy the view overlooking Camps Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. As the path rounds the next corner, impressive cliffs rise high above. Continuing SSE, the path ascends steeply to a higher ledge below massive overhangs, now heading away from the sea and into a shady ravine (on a morning hike), which can be cold and windy at times. The top of Table Mountain is just 10 minutes away from here. Well done!

The India Venster hiking trail is renowned for its strenuous path and dramatic panoramas. The term ‘Venster’, translating to ‘window’ in Afrikaans, designates the breathtaking viewpoint we encounter, encapsulated by two imposing rock outcrops. Trekking up Table Mountain, one of Africa’s most distinguished peaks and a global natural wonder, offers a unique exploration into a specific floral realm found solely in the South Western Cape, colloquially referred to as fynbos. This is the tiniest yet most abundant of the six floral kingdoms on Earth, encompassing a large variety of proteas, ericas, and restios. The mountain is home to several unique species, such as the elusive ghost frog, endemic to Table Mountain. A more exotic species also inhabiting Table Mountain is the Himalayan Tahr, a type of ‘wild mountain goat’ originally from Northern India, Southern Tibet, China, and Nepal.
