This experience climbs the secret trails of Table Mountain, taking you away from the crowds along private routes known only to locals. You will follow less travelled, more scenic paths that offer good wildlife spotting opportunities and spectacular views over the Mother City and the Cape Peninsula. As you move through the mountain landscape, you will learn about the birds and other wildlife that live here and about the famous fynbos belt. The fynbos makes up nearly 10% of all plant species on earth, and South Africa is the only country to have one of the world’s six floral kingdoms entirely within its borders in Cape Town.
Along the way there are regular stops to soak up the scenery and to have freshly brewed organic coffee or tea with local organic South African snacks. The descent will generally be by cable car, and depending on the weather you may instead hike down. Bring 1–2 litres of water, a warm jacket (preferably a light windbreaker or quick-dry layer), and a sunhat and sunscreen.
