Very tough hike but absolutely worth it - India Venster hike was very difficult but it was totally worth it. Be mentally prepared and flexible as the weather can have a major impact. It took us 4 hours with breaks but steady climbing with our fantastic Guide Chisai. And luckily we got the cable car down. Spectacular views. We needed encouragement and coaching on the scrambling but succeeded. And we learned about the flora and fauna on the way up. Great passion from Chisai and we felt amazing afterwards!

“Nice Mountain Top” - Table Mountain is a place must be visited if you are in Cape Town. Unfortunately, we went to the cable car station in a windy day were wind speed was beyond the acceptable limit and they have to stop the operation. However, we enjoyed the view of the city and the nice weather although not reached the top and never regret the trip out. My advise is to call and check at your hotel before going to the maintain keeping in mind that the last ride to top is 6 PM. A very tourist attraction place near by and worth visiting in Cape Town and should not be missed.

Unfortunately, was cloudy and windy at the top and could not see a thing. It was like being on another planet!!! Took the Gondola down. Overall still highly recommend despite our bad luck with the views.</p>

The hike was strenuous (all in our party are in excellent shape, working out 5 days a week) so you should consider your fitness level before booking this hike. The hike was very scenic and beautiful and the reward at the top is spectacular. We were very lucky and the weather was very clear and the view was unbelievable. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone interested in taking the difficult path to the top.</p>

Traveling guides however indicate that it take three hours to go up, so six hours in total for people without much experience with hiking.</p>
