Frequently Asked Questions
Which hike is better if I am afraid of heights?
If you experience severe vertigo, you should choose Table Mountain via the Platteklip Gorge route. While it is physically demanding and steep, it is a wide, solid stone path with no sheer drop-offs or vertical rock scrambles. Lion's Head and India Venster both feature sections that require climbing up metal chains next to exposed, steep drops.
Is the Table Mountain Cableway ticket included in the hike price?
No. Cableway tickets for the descent are not included. This is because weather conditions on Table Mountain can change in minutes, causing the cableway to close unexpectedly due to high winds. Hikers buy their one-way descent tickets at the top station only when the cableway is confirmed to be running. If it closes, your guide will safely lead you back down via a walking trail.
Can I hike in standard running shoes or gym trainers?
Yes, high-quality gym trainers with good rubber tread are acceptable, but trail running shoes or proper hiking boots are highly recommended. The granite and sandstone rocks on both mountains can become slippery from moisture or loose gravel (scree). Shoes with smooth soles should be avoided for safety reasons.
