One of the biggest attractions to do in Cape Town is to go up Table Mountain. It is one of the new 7 wonders of the world and is visible in most of the city.
You can hike the mountain, or take a cable car like we did. You can purchase a ticket at the base of the car and then enjoy the views on the way up. When you’re at the top, there are different walkways to take which gives different views of the city. There is also a restaurant, gift shop and free wifi at the top too #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Table mountain - One of the must visit sights
#wecreate
Table mountain is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever visited. Located in Cape Town, South Africa.
You can either hike up the mountain or take a cable car. Although the queue can be long, but it’s definitely worth it. The price for morning and afternoon ride is different. Round trip ride is for morning is around 390 rands. Do check out their website for most updated information. The view up there is definitely one of the most beautiful you can ever see

You can hike for 8hrs or pay around $6 to take the cable car up to the top of Table mountain!
Make sure you check the weather before you go because if it’s cloudy, you won’t be able to see anything!
I really enjoyed the most was the view and how friendly the birds were. There were also cute little plants growing in the cracks of the rocks.
There is a pub and a small restaurant as well as a gift shop on top of the mountain. There are bathrooms as well, but it’s quite smelly…
And one thing to be aware of is the little pests that sticks onto you! If you wear white, it will attract the little bugs😅

Table Mountain - A World Wonder
Table Mountain - the centrepiece, the marvel, the pinnacle of Cape Town tourism.
Globally famous and unmissable from anywhere around Cape Town, Table Mountain is must-visit when travelling.
Table Mountain is a floral kingdom and one of the natural Wonders of the World.
If you are looking for an easy and relatively fast way up the mountain, the Cableway is your best bet. Better yet, if you are looking to hike up to the top, Platteklip Gorge is the most direct route up to the top. Make sure that sensible hiking shoes are worn and always take a jacket and water.

Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa
This flat, eye-catching plateau is a sky-high recreational area that has attracted 24 million visitors since the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway opened in 1929. While the cars rising to 3,600 feet rotate to show off picturesque Cape Town, the mountain’s rich biodiversity – 1,470 species of plants and myriad forest animals in a relatively small area – is the top attraction.

Table Mountain it’s a mountain rising from the sea.It is located in Capetown Southern Africa. Everyone’s who visits Cape Town must go to Table Mountain....it is the touristy thing to do. But, I promise you, it will not disappoint. Visit on a clear day. Brave ones climb and say that it is exhilarating but the effect is just as spectacular by cable car. It’s called Table Mountain because it is relatively flat and this makes for a great hike. The views cannot be described by words and pictures don’t do it justice. We bought our tickets online. The queue is long but worth it.

My home country of South Africa is always a treat to return to. South Africa is blessed with glorious weather, our winters are mild and forgiving in relation to anything experienced in Europe and most parts of Asia so it’s welcoming all year round.
The first three pictures are Cape Town - home to the majestic Table Mountain and one of the best afternoon drives you’ll ever have - along the curvaceous route of Camps Bay, peaking in Signal Hill and then trickling down to central Cape Town where you’ll find the V&A Waterfront, a hub of touristy restaurants and that Instagram-worthy cable wheel.
Durban is often called the Playground of South Africa for its laid back atmosphere and stretched coastlines. Expect light and refreshing menus to offset the warm weather or poolside brunch at Umhlanga’s Oyster Box. For a more local experience, take a guided tour around Umlazi, Durban’s largest township, and the South Beach promenade for Zulu beadwork to take home.

Like the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games and the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the hosting of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa also proved its economic strength to the world. As one of the World Cup cities in Cape Town, the stadium facilities are also important urban landmarks the Cape Town Stadium in prime urban areas.
雙喜與子琛.
South Africa is really an interesting trip. Sitting on the 360-degree rotating cable car on #Table Mountain #, of course, it is also a good luck, so it can be said that it is a project with a very high weather requirement.
Table Mountain is called the Table Mountain because it looks like a desktop when it looks at the top of the mountain. The scenery seen after boarding is really screaming. From the Table Mountain, overlooking the city, overlooking the Bohai Sea, overlooking the mountains.
Although South Africa is not a popular tourist country, but there are still a lot of tourists to Table Mountain. It is inevitable to take a panoramic view. Anyway, it doesn't matter, enjoy the feelings of the time, it is already very Comfortable and enjoyable, don't even take a trip here.
Follow the blonde girl's vision and see the beauty of Cape Town.
I want to talk about the geographical environment of South Africa. The reason why there is such a beautiful scenery is because it is close to the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Indian Ocean to the east, and the name of the country that is too complicated to pass in the north. Haha, There is also a country in the southeastern part of the country - the Kingdom of Lesotho.
Not only that, but stability is also quite appropriate, the average annual temperature is about 22-32 degrees, a thin coat is enough.
After turning to Table Mountain, drive to the Victoria Harbourfront Center and enjoy the smoky Table Mountain from the bottom up. Also take a look at this beautiful harbour.

Great winery hotel in Cape Town.
Located at the foot of the eastern side of Table Mountain, the winery is a 30-minute drive from the center of Cape Town. We had plans to go to Penguin Beach and the Cape of Good Hope the next day, and this hotel was just halfway there.
One of my favorites is drinking. South Africa’s Cabernet Sauvignon is very famous, so drinking at a winery is a must.
The second is that it is beautiful. It looks very charming in the photos, but it will be even more beautiful in real life. It is easy to shop and great for filming.
The third is cost-effectiveness. This hotel is located below the Hilton, so having Diamond will bring you many benefits. This hotel is also under the Amex FHR. If you book early, it only costs 200, which is enough hotel credit. You will get US$100 credit when you check in. You can eat so much in their restaurant and have a very good meal. The Mini Bar is free. Upgrading to a suite has a lot of benefits. Necessary but super large walk-in closet.
The last thing is that this family has two super cute turtles! In the small garden outside the restaurant, he loves to interact with humans and will chase you when you pass by. The employee said there was one big one and one small one, but we never found the big one.
This is a hotel that I like so much that I can’t wait to collect the photos of the four days in Cape Town and share them first. The turtles contributed 80% of the love, haha, I really like it so much. The road into the hotel is also very charming, with green trees on both sides forming an arch. There are many black employees in the hotel who are busy. The housekeeper is a very gentleman. Many of the guests are Europeans and Americans. Although it is hell, it is like dreaming of the colonial period and experiencing the life of a manor owner.

A Heavenly Glimpse of Cape Town
Ascending Table Mountain by cable car was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip to Cape Town. The journey up was nothing short of exhilarating. As the cable car ascended, the city below gradually transformed into a miniature landscape, revealing its vibrant hues and intricate layout. The sheer scale of the mountain and the vastness of the surrounding ocean were awe-inspiring.
Upon reaching the summit, I was greeted by a breathtaking panorama. The perfect blue skies provided a striking contrast to the lush greenery and rugged terrain. The iconic Flat Top, a distinctive feature of the mountain, seemed almost within reach. The views of the city, harbor, and surrounding mountains were simply mesmerizing. It was a moment of pure tranquility and wonder.
I highly recommend taking the cable car ride up Table Mountain. It's a must-do activity for any visitor to Cape Town. The stunning views and unforgettable experience make it a truly worthwhile endeavor.

Cape Town’s Majestic Wonder
What makes Table Mountain truly unique is its flat-topped summit, which stretches for about three kilometers, resembling a table laid out for a feast of nature’s wonders.
The mountain is part of a larger national park, home to a staggering array of over 2,200 plant species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
Adventurers can hike one of the many trails leading to the summit or, for a more leisurely experience, hop on the revolving cable car that offers 360-degree views as you ascend. Once at the top, you’ll be greeted with breathtaking vistas of Cape Town, the Atlantic Ocean, and the sprawling landscapes beyond.
But Table Mountain is more than just a pretty face; it holds cultural significance for the local people. Known as Hoerikwaggo, or “Mountain of the Sea,” by the indigenous Khoisan people, it has stood as a sacred site for centuries.
Whether you’re chasing sunsets, seeking a bit of adventure, or just looking to soak in the beauty of South Africa, Table Mountain is a destination that promises to leave you in awe. Don’t miss the chance to stand atop this natural wonder and see Cape Town from the sky.

Table mountain - Cape Town!
Wow, what an amazing experience it was going up Table Mountain! Although the cable car ride was quite thrilling (and a bit frightening), we were lucky that the queue was short.
Blessed with incredible weather and clear skies, we enjoyed the most spectacular views! It truly was an unforgettable experience. Just a heads up—you should get there bright and early to avoid the lines. We booked our tour as a package, which also included a visit to see the adorable penguins.
Table Mountain is a must-see in Cape Town, but be aware that the weather can be quite unpredictable. Fingers crossed for good conditions! 🤞🏼

Table Mountain's Jaw-Dropping Majesty
#weekendgetaways
I was blown away by the sheer grandeur of Table Mountain in Cape Town! I was ready to conquer the summit via the Aerial Cableway. The cable car ride was a thrill in itself, offering breathtaking views of the city and ocean. At the top, the panoramic vistas left me speechless - the rugged landscape, vast Atlantic, and stunning vistas. The experience was nothing short of awe-inspiring. If you're seeking adventure, natural beauty, or just a dose of wonder, visit Table Mountain. It's a must-do experience in Cape Town, and one that will leave you in absolute awe!
