From your arrival in Cape Town onwards, it will be hard to miss Table Mountain. Just as it shapes the lifestyle, attitude, weather, traffic, and everything else about Cape Town for locals, it should be a highlight of your visit. While most visitors just touch on what the mountain has to offer, if you have the time, hikes on Table Mountain are a must. This list of best dayhikes in Cape Town highlights some of the best. Pick up a Peter Sligsby guide to Table Mountain and try a walk up a trail on the 12 Apostles side, up one of the ravines above Kirstenbosch Gardens, or above Chapman’s Peak Drive.
