Hike up Table Mountain in time to

 see the sunset

A real treat is to be able to see the sunset from the Top of Table Mountain. Of course with the wind tending to get stronger towards the end of the day it is not always possible if the cable car has closed. Perhaps this is why this evening walk remains something really special.

There are a number of ways to reach the top. A full days hike from the Back Table, a couple of hours up Platteklip or India Venster. Or of course, taking the cable car and taking a liesurely stroll around the Klipspringer trail or to Maclears Beacon. Whichever way you choose make sure you are looking towards Camps Bay as the sun slowly dips into the sea.

The last cable car down leaves shortly after the sunset and the view of the city at night is very different from the daytime view.
