The 3km (1.86 miles) trail (6km in total) climbs steeply from the mountain valley base, through forest and up rock stepping stones, before rising above the city and ending at a jaw-dropping lookout over Cape Town—an enormous cloud cover and wind sometimes stretches for over the table shaped mountain. The name of this is the Table Cloth for it’s distinctive resemblance to a cover over the table.  Highlights: Guided Tour, Table Mountain, Scenic rest areas en-route.

Insider Tip: Dassies are spotted nearly every day near the Platteklip Trail. Although not dangerous, they should not be fed by humans.
