What our customers ask about Table Mountain Tours & Trips
How crowded does Table Mountain get and when are the quietest times to visit?
Table Mountain draws large crowds particularly during summer (December-February) between 10am-3pm. Visitors seeking a quieter experience should plan their visit before 9am or after 4pm. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Taking the first cable car up at 8am was perfect - we had the summit almost to ourselves for an hour before the crowds arrived." Hotels like the Cape Grace arrange early morning departures helping guests avoid the busiest periods especially around the Upper Cable Station.
What wildlife might I encounter during a Table Mountain Mountain tour?
The mountain's ecosystem supports distinctive wildlife including the rare Table Mountain Ghost Frog and Rock Hyrax (dassies). A TourRadar traveler shared "Watching the dassies sunbathe on the rocks while staying at the Acadia House was a highlight." The environment supports more than 2200 plant species with notable residents like the Silver Tree and various proteas. Bird enthusiasts can spot Black Eagles Rock Kestrels and Sunbirds along routes like India Venster and near the Cape Town Hollow Boutique Hotel observation area.
Can I combine a Table Mountain Mountain tour with other Cape Town attractions?
Many tours connect Table Mountain with key Cape Town sites. The V&A Waterfront sits just 15 minutes from the Protea Balalaika Hotel while the colorful Bo-Kaap district makes an easy addition.

Popular pairings include Kirstenbosch Gardens Signal Hill sunset views and Lions Head full moon walks. Many visitors end their day at Camps Bay Beach or enjoy South African dishes at the Table Mountain Café.

A TourRadar traveler noted "The Maclear's Beacon viewpoint offered incredible 360-degree views of the peninsula." The Western Table features dramatic cliffs while the Valley of the Red Gods showcases distinct rock formations. Morning tours from Cape Town Hollow Boutique Hotel catch the soft early light perfect for photos.
