Table Mountain, a prominent landmark overlooking Cape Town, offers breathtaking panoramic views and diverse hiking trails. The mountain is accessible via a cable car, which is wheelchair-friendly, making it suitable for visitors with mobility challenges. While solo hikes are possible, guided tours are recommended for less experienced hikers or those wanting to learn more about the local flora and fauna. Weather conditions can significantly impact access; the cable car often closes during high winds or cloud cover, particularly in winter (June-August). Hiking is also affected by weather. The cable car return trip costs approximately ZAR 395 (about $22 USD), and hiking is free. A typical visit can last from 2-5 hours, depending on activities chosen, from hiking to simply enjoying the views. Booking cable car tickets online in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak season (November-February) to avoid long queues.
