  • Table Mountain, South Africa
    Table Mountain, South Africa Teeming with wildlife and botanical treasures, Table Mountain dominates the skyline of the 'Mother City'. Endlessly pouring tablecloth of clouds amply justifies its riveting presence between the Devil's Peak and Lion's Head sentinels. With its gloomy ravines, rugged cliffs, and indigenous jungles, the mountain creates a magical aura that interweaves with the urban sprawl. As the summit itself offers a visual delight of blue hazed mountains of the hinterland and panoramic views of Robben Island, it is hard not to be enamored of Table Mountain. History Approximately eight hundred million years ago, the mountain was at the sea level. The mountain rose due to the pressure building up in the earth's crust during the Ice Age. About 2000 years ago, it was inhabited by the Khoikhoi people, who were a major tribe when Europeans first arrived in the 16th century. The Khoi and San people named the mountain 'Hoerikwaggo' meaning 'mountain in the sea.' Later, António de Saldanha, who climbed the mountain in 1503, named it 'Taboa do Cabo' meaning “Table of the Cape.” Table Mountain Activities Ride Table Mountain Cableway – The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway was opened in October 4, 1929. It's a much safer, faster, and convenient 1200-meter ride that carries visitors from the Lower Cable Station on Kloofnek Road to the top of Table Mountain. Experience the sunny days and balmy evenings atop the mountain by taking a cable car to the summit, and be amazed by the jaw-dropping views of Cape Town, Robben Island, and the Cape Peninsula.
