Things to do in Cape Town.
Check out the hike up the other side of Table Mountain
Table Mountain, now officially one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world, is also one of the most iconic landmarks on earth. It's absolutely no wonder that Cape Town has become a number tourist destination. A visit to the top is a must do for locals and tourists alike as it provides brilliant views over the city, Camps Bay, Table Bay, the West Coast to the north and the Cape Peninsula to the south. The Cable Car is the best option for those that have limited fitness and time. For those looking to stretch their legs and to get a little more in touch with nature, there are a number of hikes to the top. We opted for Platteklip Gorge. This route is said to be the easiest. With roughly 1,5 to 2 hours of natural stairs leading the way, we would definitely call it the quickest, but not necessarily the easiest. But if you pack a lunch, take lots of water and take your time to leisurely enjoy the views, the people, the plants and the animals there should be no excuse not to try this hike at least once in your life. Add it to your bucket-list today.
Please give us a thumbs up.

5 TIPS to survive Table Mountain, Cape Town
Enjoy your visit to South African. When you visit Cape Town in South Africa, then you will no doubt visit Table Mountain. To make the most of your visit to Table Mountain, I have put together a list of Table Mountain Tips for you.
Table Mountain Tips:
1. Buy tickets online in advance: This is the best place to find Table Mountain Cable car prices.
2. The cable car interior rotates 360 degrees, so you don’t have to try to push for the front.
3. For the budget conscious you can walk either or both ways up and down the mountain. I’d suggest cable car up and walk down. Hiking table mountain is not for the faint hearted.
4. The weather is unpredictable, so bring both summer (sunscreen included) and winter / wind gear so that you are prepared.
5. Stick to walkways and paths.
6. At the entrance there is a wifi lounge which is not usually very busy.

Hiking up Table Mountain (Platteklip Gorge) | Things to do in Cape Town
More info here:
Table Mountain, now officially one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world, is one of the most iconic landmarks on earth. It also has some of the most scenic hikes that are almost within the city. It’s absolutely no wonder that Cape Town has become a number tourist destination. A visit to the top is a must do for locals and tourists alike as it provides brilliant views over the city, Camps Bay, Table Bay, the West Coast to the north and the Cape Peninsula to the south.
Platteklip Gorge is the shortest hike straight up the middle of the mountain. The average duration is about 2 hours, but fit people can summit the mountain in about half an hour if they try.

HIKING Australia's Tabletop mountain / QLD
Tabletop mountain is on the edge of Toowoomba and provides vast views of the Lockyer Valley. The climb itself can be quite demanding for some, there are a lot of large steps over the camel's hump and a scramble just before the summit. There is a circuit all the way around the top of the mountain.
Robben Island Tour | Cape Town Travel Vlog
Despite both having lived in Cape Town for so many years both Dean & Darren had never visited Robben Island, the prison Island where former President Nelson Mandela was kept during Apartheid. The insight and learning from this tour was incredibly informative & emotional.
Want to learn how to making videos like this one then join us on our workshop
Happening on the 18th April 2017
101 things to do in Cape Town: thingstodo.capetown/
We take to the sea and explore what there is to see on Robben Island.
Ferries run at 09h00, 11h00, 13h00 and 15h00 daily (weather permitting). Tickets are R230 for adults and R120 for children under 18 years of age.
The ferry ride to the island takes half an hour in a spacious double decker boat. Once arriving on the island, tours are divided into two parts: a bus tour, and a walking tour. Both parts of the tour are hosted by experienced guides – some of whom are former prisoners of the island.
It was especially great to get to know the staff a little better. Watch our little Travel Vlog on what to expect. We recommend you try and include this in your trip to Cape Town. Due to popular demand and weather constraints, make sure to buy your tickets well in advanced, or book ahead with one of our Tours.

Cape Point & Chapman's Peak - South Africa Travel Vlog (Day 3)
▶ Check out my gear on Kit:
Day 3 - Visiting Cape Point & Chapman's Peak drive.
This is a 1 day trip from Cape Town to Cape Point and Cape Good Hope.
We took one of the most amazing roads in the world - Chapman's Peak and we spent the rest of the day in Table Mountain National Park.
The views of mountains meeting the ocean at an end of a continent are simply phenomenal. The energy in Cape Good Hope especially is on such high levels that even the extremely strong win is something you enjoy.
Chapman's Peak costs around 50 rand.
Entering Table Mountain National Park for Cape Point and Cape Good Hope was around 600 rand for 2 people.

DEER PARK, CAPE TOWN. A day of adventure
I spent the day in Deer Park with Dilosen. There are endless stretches of forest and hiking trails. We did a bit of both as well as venture off trail into the thick unknown.
There is so many views and so much to discover. It would've been impossible to put together a comprehensive video. I opted for trying to create more a feel for what it's like at Deer Park. It's not the first time Deer Park has featured on my channel. You might remember us finding a wild bunny in a previous vlog:
