Table Mountain


Cape Town is one of the most visited destinations in Africa and as a result there are many holiday houses in Cape Town as well as many other types of accommodation, such as city lofts and self catering apartments. There is much affordable accommodation Cape Town has to offer, so finding one of these Cape Town places to stay shouldn’t prove too difficult. Once you have found the best beach accommodation Cape Town you can get down to deciding just how you will be spending your blue sky and sun filled holiday. 

Visitors to Cape Town should not miss the chance to explore Table Mountain in an intimate way, after all it will almost certainly be the iconic image that you send home in the form of a postcard. Many visitors travel to the top of the mountain by the rotating cable car, while this is indeed a fantastic way of viewing your favorite holiday city, the experience can lead one wanting more.

If you consider yourself an adrenalin junky, or at least yearn for some cardio vascular benefit from your activities, then you should definitely try abseiling. Abseiling from the top of the 1000 meter high Table Mountain top, that is.  With the incredible views of the city and the Atlantic Ocean at your feet, the 112 meter controlled descent from the top is the highest commercial abseil in the world. 

The abseiling runs daily you can choose to either book a time that suits you or make your way to the top and meet the abseiling team there if you are more of the spontaneous sort.

The abseil team at Abseil Africa also offer a thrilling ascent to the top of Table Mountain. The team offer guided walks up Platteklip Gorge to macheaus Beacon, the highest point of Table Mountain.
