Table Mountain
Table mountain is a must do attracation in your lifetime.
It is accessable for those who wish to walk, climb or go up by cable car.
The walk up Platteklip Glen (Front of the montain) is awesome, it is 20 min walk from the lower cable station, just of Kloof Street (Kllof Nek).
And the signs clearly show the way to the top.
It takes between 1 to 2 hours depending on how fit you are (I seem to get up in about 90 min) and a great walk from the top through to the upper cable station, for a hearty (yet expensive) champaign breakfast before taking a trip down the cable car, unless you are brave enough to walk back down again.
It has the most exquisite views of the city and on a clear day you can see through to Fish Hoek, Kommertjie and accross the bay including Robben Island. There are great guides available at the Tourist Office and tours readilily available from all the majour tour operators. Climbs can be arranged and Table Mountain Fauna and Flora are spectacular.
There is also access and many many trails from the Kirstenbosch side, as well as from Constantia Neck and even from the Camps Bay Side.
All in all a lifetimes worth of adventure for the eager soul.
