Hiking Tips

There are dangers when hiking - even though Table Mountain is in the middle of the city, it is very dangerous. People get caught in all kinds of predicaments whilst climbing.

Here are some tips and suggestions to follow for a comfortable hike.
  • Watch out for dehydration - and remember to take a lot of water and something to eat in order to sustain your energy levels.
  • If you climb at night, be sure you are joining a group of experienced climbers, and wear a head-lamp.
  • It gets very cold at the top, (even on hot days) especially if you have sweated, so take a warm jacket.
  • The weather can change in a very short period of time, that is why you need something warm, even on a hot day.
