Table Mountain & Signal Hill
Hi,
I’m Florent and I’m with my two roomates Friedl (photograph) and Samy (volonteer) to share with you one of our most incredible journey in South Afrika !
Saturday 20th September : Table Mountain & Signal Hill
Table Mountain
Perfect day to go hiking with the other volonteers of the MBC on Table mountain: amazing sky, not too much wind, just the long road between us and the top!
One objectif : Reach the sun !
From the first step of the climb, you can see a breach between two mountains. Then, every step makes you watch the valley better than your feets: Cape town, the Sea, and Lion’s Head on the left.
Lion’s Head from Signal Hill
After 30 minutes, you can’t see Lion’s head anymore, and it gets colder because you are exactly between the two mountains. No more sun, but an amazing view with water falling from the top on the left, big and pretty stones on the right.
Cape Town during the walk
And after 1hour30, we are in the gorge. Explosion of the sun, after 30 minutes with the head so close to the floor, we finally reach the sky !!
Far away, our second objective : Signal Hill for sunset. Just the time to take the cable car, and here we go !

Signal Hill : It’s 17h45. Sunset is expected around 18h30, just enough time to enjoy the landscape around, table mountain in our back, and the endless sea in front of us.
We walked through the grass to find the perfect view, crossing the road of lovers and other tourist.
And soudainly, it’s happen. Sunset. No more words, enjoy the view.
Florent, Friedl and Samy
