Cape Town Map? Table Mountain Is The Map

It is virtually impossible to get lost in Cape Town

Table Mountain dominates the landscape from wherever you are. It is the Cape Town map!

This majestic and mystic mountain changes daily and by the hour. In the morning in can be bathed in sunshine and an hour later it can be covered in the tablecloth.

A cloud bank that just appears if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

Many believe that Table mountain has a mystical power and that if the mountain is there then everything is right with the world.

There is no denying it's majesty. When viewed from any vantage point it is impressive. Rising 1 km high it dominates the landscape. 7/10ths of a mile high in old money.

You can catch the cable car to save your legs, or try one of several walking trails, to get to the top. Once you are there you can jump straight off again on an abseiling experience.

I would suggest you stay atop for a while and wonder at the diverse flora and fauna that is in abundance on top of this massive natural sandstone rock prominence.

When peering from the top of the mountain, you will see, the Cape Town Map as if you were looking in a tour guide. It is impressive.

Cape Town Table Mountain

There you may see the Rock Hyrax (or Dassie in the local lingo) a tiny mammal who's closest relative is an elephant. It lives on the Mountain and jumps around on the sheer rock face in total abandon. You will find a multitude of birds too, that will clean up any food you leave lying around.

Some people call it table top mountain because when the tablecloth appears it does indeed resemble a table top. The south easterly wind brings the conditions for the table cloth to appear.

In Afrikaans Table Mountain is Tafelberg. Tafel = table and berg = mountain.

If you are a South African citizen you can get a free ride on the cable way on your birthday! Just turn up with your passport or ID book and your on.

Where to stay

There is accommodation to suit every budget from the swankiest 5 star hotels to the swankiest B&B in the Malay Quarter. To backpackers for a couple of bucks a night. See What other hubbers have to say, in the links section.

Cape Town is a tourists dream with every conceivable thing to see and do. It is a very safe city as long as you use your head. The same as any big city really. I Hope you enjoyed my pictures of Table Mountain. Thanks for dropping in.
