Die Autorin beschreibt in englischer Sprache die unglaubliche Aussicht bei gutem Wetter und kommt zu dem Schluss, daß der Tafelberg eine der besten Landschaften der Welt ist ("one of the most interesting setting in the world").

The author claims that the winds are "usually much stronger than in the city", so tells us to choose a "quiet day to go up". The review tells us the most "popular" way up is by the cableway, but this has a downside as there can be "long queues" to purchase a ticket.
