Table Mountain Hike
5 h
About this activity
Itinerary
India Venster is a challenging and popular hike up Table Mountain, it incorporates all the elements of adventure in a relatively safe package, that is completely achievable for the average hiker.
The Duration is dependent upon ones fitness, but approximately:
Two and a half hours ascent.
45 minutes at the top.
2 hour descent down Platteklip gorge.
Optional descend via Cable car (at your expense)
Optional hike to Maclears Beacon 90mins
There is an element of scrambling involved on this hike but is combined with staples in the rock to ease the ascent.
No ropes are required but the guide will carry one if that measure of stability for comforts sake is required, and to facilitate in emergencies. (I dont plan to have an emergency, but I plan to be prepared)
Safety:
The Hike will be abandoned if the conditions are deemed unsuitable by the guide, based on experience of the conditions which may differ further up the mountain. Rain and wind are the two mitigating factors, not visibility
If a guest decides to abandon the hike, I will hike down with them, before resuming the hike. This delay is a safety precaution brought out of necessity.
Stop At:
• Table Mountain National Park 8001 South Africa
