Cape Town's iconic landmark, Table Mountain, has released their new prices for the next year. It will now cost R130 for a return trip and R65 one way, although if you have a student card these prices will reduce to R88 and R47 respectively.
However, we always recommend to our guests here at Ashanti Lodge to make the effort and hike up the mountain. Platteklip is a great route and depending on your fitness level shouldn't take more than an hour and a half. Once on top of the mountain (which is surprising level) you could spend hours walking around. And remember that if you have any postcards to send that if you send them from on top of the mountain, they will actually have a Table Mountain postmark.
Water, a hat and sunblock are obligatory and don't forget that it actually IS a mountain and can therefore be quite dangerous, so you should stick to the demarcated route and not go alone.
A great thing to do is walk up in the late afternoon (with a beer or a bottle of wine in your daypack) and watch the city lights come on as the sun sets. The last cable car down in the height of summer is at 10pm so there is plenty of time.
Have a look at their website and ENJOY!!!
