Attraction Information
Table Mountain
Closest Hotels to Table Mountain:
Like Cape Point, Table Mountain is part of the strip of land forming Cape Peninsula National Park. Table Mountain, however, stands in the middle of Cape Town and defines the downtown area, with the forested ravines of its eastern buttresses flanking the southern suburbs. So named for its flat top, the mountain rises to a height of 1086m (3562ft). Since 1929, a cable car has carried visitors up to the summit, which offers spectacular views of the city and its beaches. The mountain is also home to an indigenous rodent-like creature called the Rock Hyrax or ‘dassie’, the closest living relative to modern elephants.
