Tips from locals
One of my favoutire hike ! Starting from the Kirstenbosh botanical garden, you can hike to the top of Table Mountain through a gorge with wooden ladders and through a stream bed. At the top, you can head towards to cable-car to go down the mountain on the city side. It requieres about 5 hours.
A moderate hike through the shaded, indigenous forest up the Eastern slopes of Table Mountain, and summits at Maclear’s Beacon, the highest point on Table Mountain. The hike starts from the Kirstenbosch Gardens and takes about 5 hours in total. Once you reach the top, enjoy a refreshing dip in the dams. You can decide to continue to Table Mountain or you can descent back to the Bontanical Gardens.

Head to the top of table mountain. You can do this hike up & down in about 3 hours. If you go up Nursery Ravine you can come down Skeleton Gorge (5,5km) moderate difficulty. You can also choose to hike up and walk across the entire Table of the table mountain and head down in the cable car. Be sure to pack cash and lots of water for this. This will take you about 6 hours. Start early, there is no shade on the mountain :) Moderate - hard - endurance is key here.
