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.

South Africa/Cape Town (Cape Point,Table Mountain) Part 1
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Cape Point,South Africa
Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula. about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) east and a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the southwest corner. Although these two rocky and beautiful capes are very well known, neither cape is actually the southernmost point in Africa; that is Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast.
The Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa.
There is a misconception that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa, because it was once believed to be the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. In fact, the southernmost point is Cape Agulhas, about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast. The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm-water Agulhas current meets the cold water Benguela current and turns back on itself—a point that fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point.
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. This broad sweep of mountainous heights, together with Signal Hill, forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table Bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn built in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level, about 19 metres (62 ft) higher than the cable station at the western end of the plateau.
The cliffs of the main plateau are split by Platteklip Gorge (Flat Stone Gorge), which provides an easy and direct ascent to the summit and was the route taken by António de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503.
The flat top of the mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air, where the moisture condenses to form the so-called table cloth of cloud. Legend attributes this phenomenon to a smoking contest between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks.When the table cloth is seen, it symbolizes the contest.
Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the spine of the Cape Peninsula. To the south of the main plateau is a lower part of the range called the Back Table. On the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, the range is known as the Twelve Apostles. The range continues southwards to Cape Point.

Table Mountain (Khoekhoe: Huri ‡oaxa, mountain rising from the sea; Afrikaans: Tafelberg) is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park. Table Mountain is home to a large array of fauna and flora, most of which is endemic.
Hiking on Table Mountain is popular amongst locals and tourists, and a number of trails of varying difficulty are available. Because of the steep cliffs around the summit, direct ascents from the city side are limited. Platteklip Gorge, a prominent gorge up the centre of the main table, is a popular and straightforward direct ascent to the summit. Par for the course is about 2.5 hours but is done between 1–3 hours depending on one's fitness level.

We moved once again - this time from the Grand Daddy Hotel Cape Town to the Sea Star Rocks Hotel in Camps Bay Cape Town. This hotel has the absolute best view in Cape Town - no actually the best view ever :)
We were sad to check out of the InAweStays Cape town but got to check out another great boutique hotel the grand daddy cape town. After we got some work done in the Truth Cafe we checked into the Grand daddy Cape town. In the evening we had a great dinner at the Pot Luck Club located in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock Cape Town. In the evening the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel had a movie playing on their roof top cinema.
We are so excited we arrived in Cape Town South Africa. We were lucky to be hooked up with a room ath InAweStays Capetown. We got there after a short drive from Cape Town Airport. We chose InAweStays as we didn’t want to spend to much time in Cape Town Hotels. We will make a separate Cape town things to do video very soon and show off Cape Town Beaches, Camps Bay, Clifton Beach and other Cape Town Adventure you want to get into. In my vlog I was very lucky to meet the Cape Town Vlogger Mr Ben Brown so stay tuned for that - I think this week I might meet other Cape town vlogger and people running a cape town youtube channel - so lets see ????

Hiking Table Mountain is a rite of passage for visitors to Cape Town. The iconic behemoth defines the ‘Mother City’ in the same way Rio has a harbour, New York has a statue and San Francisco has a bridge.

Cape Town/Kaapstad/iKapa Table Mountain (South Africa)
(EN) Table Mountain (Afrikaans: Tafelberg) is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia.[2] It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park. The view from the top of Table Mountain has been described as one of the most epic views in Africa.
(AF)Tafelberg is 'n berg in Suid-Afrika wat uitkyk bo-oor Kaapstad en sy omgewings. Dit het 'n kenmerkende plat bokant en is omtrent drie kilometer van punt tot punt.
As 'n mens suid oor die stad uitkyk na Tafelberg sien jy links (oos) die driehoekige Duiwelspiek (1 000 m) en regs die ronde Leeukop (669 m) en Seinheuwel. Dit is die noordelike punt van 'n reeks berge wat afstrek deur die lengte van die Kaapse Skiereiland. Die bokant word gereeld deur wolke bedek, bekend as die tafeldoek.
Die berg se hoogste punt is by Maclear se baken, en is 1 086 m (3 563 voet) bo seespieël. Hierdie punt is vernoem na die klipstapelbaken wat in 1865 deur Sir Thomas Maclear daar gebou is vir trigonometriese landmeting. Maclear se baken is nie veel van 'n piek nie — dit is die hoogste punt op die plato en slegs 19 m hoër as die kabelkar-stasie wat op 1 067 m is. 'n Berugte gevaarlike ligging is Carrel se lys, wat 'n ononderbroke val (aan die middel bo van die foto getoon) is, nie ver van Maclear se baken nie.
Tafelberg is ook in 'n unieke posisie deurdat dit die enigste aardskenmerk is wat sy naam aan 'n sterrebeeld ontleen: Mensa, wat die tafel beteken. Die berg word regop gesien in die Suidelike Halfrond, onder Orion, rondom middernag in middel Julie. Dit is vernoem deur die Franse sterrekundige Nicolas de Lacaille gedurende sy verblyf aan die Kaap in die middel 18de eeu.
(F) La montagne de la Table (en afrikaans : Tafelberg, en anglais : Table Mountain) est un massif de la province du Cap-Occidental en Afrique du Sud, qui surplombe la ville du Cap.
