Table Mountain Platteklip Gorge Hike

Table Mountain National Park, South Africa

Include in my safari All activities

About this experience

Platteklip Gorge is the most direct route up the front face of Table Mountain, a steep, stepped path that climbs through the obvious cleft in the cliffs. The ascent is strenuous but straightforward.

At the top, you can explore the summit plateau’s unique fynbos and rock formations, then ride the cable car down if it is running.

Highlights

  • Direct route up Table Mountain
  • Summit plateau fynbos
  • Cable car descent option
