Hello everyone

When I stay in Cape Town in November/December 2024, I would definitely like to do the following Table Mountain hike, which I already know, with my partner again:

Ascent via Platteklip Goroge - Kasteelspoort - then descent to Camps Bay or alternatively Pipe Track to Kloof Neck.

I did this hike in 2009 (to Kloof Nek) in a group and in 2016 (to Camps Bay) alone - without any problems. Now we keep reading about increasing safety problems on Table Mountain. My questions:

• How has the security situation developed on Table Mountain in recent years?

• Are hikes still possible with an acceptable level of risk (there would be two of us on the way).

• Are there organized hikes or providers that offer hikes in larger groups (which would probably reduce the risk)?

Thank you very much for all the information, Andreas
