This was a nice hike for us, given we had completed the Skeleton Gorge hike a few days earlier. As you ascent the views of Camp Bay and the Lions head illuminate with sunlight and sharpen against the oceanic backdrop.

This is a really fun activity and the bigger the group, the more fun it will be. Race you to the top is 10 times more hilarious when on quad bikes and in the sand dunes!   Touring company: Downhill Adventures   Image credits: Rami Mandow   #AdventurusQuest #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #Africa #Adventure #AdventureTravel #Hiking #Trekking #Mountain #Summit #Climbing #Scrambling #QuadBiking #Sandboarding #ZipLining #Outdoors #Health #Fitness #Wellbeing #TableMountain #TableMountainAdventures #AtlantisSandDunes #NationalParks 

Quad biking is listed as being fairly dangerous – the risk being that when the bike flips the driver gets pinned below it. However, the quad bikes are heavy machines with a low centre of gravity – and whilst some of the angles taken by the bike over the dunes can look and feel like the bike will flip – it is highly unlikely. The key is to remember to follow the instructions carefully from the lead driver (you also get a chance to practice on some low level skill driving tasks). In saying so, the bikes do require a bit of strength to steer and maintain – so are most likely unsuitable to young kids or people who are unable to exert upper body strength.

The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3km from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, together with Signal Hill - forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table Bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon.

This experience was great, it’s a relatively relaxing hike with lots of water breaks and best to start early. Next …… the scrambling up the ravine begins …… more in Part 2 of this blog* …… *I’ve split this blog in two, as this one hike gives you two very different yet equally adventurous experiences. This first part covers off the hike from the base of the mountain up to where the scrambling (Part 2) begins.

Then we were off! We wanted to beat the sun rising – because starting a hike anywhere in South Africa after 8am is what the locals call ‘crazy’ (it’s just way too hot and you want to be off the mountain before the Atlantic South-Easterly winds pick up in the afternoon).

As the sun starts rising behind the 12 Apostles and Table Mountain, a crisp dawn unfolds around you with all the wonderful creatures and colours of the mountain, awakening.

Cape Town in itself is a wonder. But getting up before sunrise to travel to Camps Bay is spectacular.
