Overview

We start at the world famous Kirstenbosch for an informative walk around some of the highlights of the gardens including the new canopy bridge. We then start the climb up Skeleton Gorge following crystal clear streams. The gorge is fill of indigenous forest so we are protected from the elements up this initial climb. Once at the top we enjoy well deserved snacks overlooking a dam found at the top of the mountain.

Its now time to move across the table-top, there is a drastic change in vegetation with flower-strewn fynbos, crystal clear streams and panoramic views of Cape Town and the city’s surrounding mountain ranges. Reaching the highest point of the mountain, Maclear’s Beacon (1065m), the views open up to take in Table Bay and Robben Island. we then tackle the easiest section that meanders towards the Upper Cable Car station . The cable car down is an unforgettable experience as the car rotates and you enjoy 360-degree views. We conclude the tour with a transfer back to your hotel.

First class. Can not recommend Matt and his team highly enough. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and gave us an experience we would have never had on our own. Thank you

I did a private tour with Matt Fletcher through Kirstenbosch Garden, up Skeleton Gorge and on to Table Mountain, going down the cable car. It was wonderful! Matt is very knowledgeable about the flora and could answer all my questions. I’m a petite, solo female traveler and felt very safe. 10/10 would book again.

Matt is an excellent guide! Unfortunately for my wife and I, the weather did not go our way: strong winds and significant runoff from recent rains. We got about halfway up elevationwise—to the top of the ladders—but had to turn back due to the winds and high water levels. Matt gave us a detour on a contour trail to a rockslide so we could get our steps in and a nice view. We then returned to the gardens, our starting point, where Matt gave us a nice tour and lunch at the restaurant there. If you like hot chocolate, theirs is excellent! He then drove us to the front of the mountain at the base cable car station. The winds were howling! The cable car was not running. Even on a nice day, this is a very strenuous hike. If we made it all the way, it would have been over six miles to the top—the first part that we did accomplish was a relentless climb. If the cable car is not running, it’s a little under two miles down.
