Table Mountain at the Hour the Tablecloth Rolls

Table Mountain at the Hour the Tablecloth Rolls

Table Mountain rises 1,085 meters with a three-kilometer flat summit. The cableway rotates 360 degrees. The Platteklip Gorge hike takes 2-3 hours. The fynbos supports more plant species per square meter than any other ecosystem on Earth. The dassies (rock hyraxes) on the summit are the closest living relatives of the elephant.

Best time: Morning, before the southeaster sends the cloud "tablecloth" across the summit. Check the webcam at tablemountain.net.
