Nomad Tip

Never hike alone on Table Mountain — the weather can change in minutes. The Pipe Track (easy, 7km) and Platteklip Gorge (hard, 3km up) are the most popular routes. Carry water, sunscreen, and a windbreaker.

    I came to Cape Town for a week and stayed two months, largely because of the trail running on Table Mountain. The Pipe Track to Woody Ravine loop is my favorite — 12km of pure magic. Join a group for safety.

    Table Mountain trail running is on another level. The Platteklip Gorge stair climb is the ultimate leg workout — 700m of elevation in 2.5km. The views from the top make every painful step worth it. Carry more water than you think you need.
