South Africa Mountain Climbing
The Western Cape offers famous Table Mountain, Signal Hill, Lion’s Head, the recently re-opened Chapman’s Peak and the lush Cederberg Mountains.

From Table Mountain one can see the massive city and the shimmering ocean as far as your eye can see. You will be able to see Robben Island from this amazing vantage point.
Lion’s Head is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes up and has become so popular on warm, clear evenings that you can expect to find long queues up the mountain.

This route boasts pristine indigenous vegetation and a wonderful narrow upper gorge. The Cederberg region also boasts picturesque scenery and fantastic mountain climbing opportunities.
