Kloof Nek

Kloof Nek

Kloof Nek is one of Cape Town’s most iconic mountain passes, linking the city bowl with the Atlantic Seaboard between the leafy suburb of Higgovale and the fashionable beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton. Nestled beneath the imposing slopes of Table Mountain and Lion’s Head, this historic gateway offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the city and is a favourite stop for visitors exploring the Cape Peninsula.

The pass has played an important role since the 18th century, when it provided one of the earliest routes across the mountain. Today, it is best known for its breathtaking viewpoints, where sweeping vistas extend over the city, Table Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway provides easy access to the mountain summit, while hiking trails leading to Lion’s Head and Signal Hill begin just a short distance away.

Kloof Nek is also perfectly positioned for discovering Cape Town’s vibrant lifestyle. Charming cafés, boutique restaurants and the bustling beaches of Camps Bay are only minutes away, while the city centre and V&A Waterfront are easily reached. Combining rich history, dramatic landscapes and exceptional accessibility, Kloof Nek is an unforgettable gateway to many of Cape Town’s finest experiences.
