Cape Town’s majestic mountain backdrop is the top of many a South Africa bucket list. The cable car is easy to arrange yourself, as is the standard slog up Platteklip Gorge. Neither of these are how locals usually visit Table Mountain.
Hundreds of trails crisscross the mountain and most are not signposted. Local mountain guides can take you to places of adrenalin and serenity, dependent on how you want to experience Table Mountain.
Like a sunset picnic hidden from the world, halfway up the mountain’s steep face, in a place unknown to Instagram. With Table Mountain there’s so much to experience if you know where and how.
