The official inauguration of Table Mountain as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature will take place in December 2012 and South Africa is gearing up to celebrate Table Mountain’s success, based on the results announced at the N7W headquarters in Zurich on 11/11/11.
It was among the best six other Wonders of Nature such as Amazon Rainforest, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Jeju Island dormant volcano in South Korea, Komodo and Puerto Pricensa the Underground River in Phillipines.

There are two forms of reaching the summit of the Table Mountain, either take a short-cut i.e. using cable car that travels at 6km/h and rotate in order to maximize your view of Cape Town.
If you are fit enough then your two series (i.e. feet) might come handy to propell you to the top or just have someone to put you on his shoulders and enjoy the ride. The safe route to follow is well marked from the foot of the mountain and some guidelines for your own safety. There are rangers with dogs as well that ensure the safety of all the nature lovers, while hiking the mountain.
Along the route, you come across hikers of various age, all with one goal to reach the top of the mountain.
