Table Mountain is named after its flat mountain top. The view of nature's table covered with white tablecloth of clouds is mesmerizing. Table Mountain was once named as the new seven wonders in 2011.
Table Mountain has rich bio diversity. Few of these species can be seen only in this area. You can also see wildlife like porcupines, mongooses, snakes, tortoises, booted eagles  etc.
Table Mountain can be reached by cablecars. Cars depart from the lower cable station on Tafelberg Road every 10 to 15 minutes. Cablecar doesn’t operate if the wind is too strong or the visibility too poor.
