Skeleton Gorge & Nursery Ravine:
You can combine a visit to the gardens at Kirstenbosch with an ascent up Table Mountain via one route and a descent down another, ending at the Kistenbosch National Botanical Garden's restaurant for tea.

Starting at the restaurant, follow the Skeleton Gorge signs, which lead you onto the Contour Path.
At the Contour Path, a plaque indicates that this is Smuts' Track, the route favoured by Jan Smuts, the Boer leader and South African prime minister.

The plaque marks the start of a broad-stepped climb up Skeleton Gorge, involving wooden steps, stone steps, wooden ladders and loose boulders.
Be prepared for steep ravines and difficult rock climbs - and under no circumstances stray off the path.
This route requires reasonable fitness, and takes about two hours.

Skeleton Gorge is not recommended for the descent, as it can be very slippery; rather use Nursery Ravine.
At the top of Skeleton Gorge, walk a few metres to your right ro a sign indicating kasteelspoort.
It's just 35 minutes from the top of Skeleton Gorge along the kasteelspoort path to the head of Nursery Ravine.
The descent returns you to the 310-metre Contour Path, which leads back to Kirstenbosch.
This entire walk lasts about five hours.
