Sightseeing

My favourite peak to climb - amazing to catch a sunset or sunrise on. Boasts magical panoramic views of the Atlantic Seaboard, Twelve Apostles Mountain Range, Table Mountain, SIgnal Hill, Robin Island, Camps Bay and beyond the City Bowl. Hiking Lions Head during the full moon is also a huge vibe*

The infamous Table Mountain. My favourite is to hike up Platteklip Gorge and then take the cable cart back down - the feeling of achievement after the summit is quite something. What a magical mountain <3
