Getting There

Car

If you are driving, start from the city center of Cape Town. Head towards the N2 highway and take the M3 exit towards Muizenberg. Follow the M3 until it turns into Rhodes Drive. Continue on Rhodes Drive until you see the entrance to Table Mountain National Park. Enter the park and follow the signs to the 'Pipe Track' parking area, which is located near the intersection of Signal Hill Road and Tafelberg Road. Note that parking may incur a fee, typically around ZAR 10-20, depending on the duration of your stay.
Public Transportation

If you prefer using public transportation, take the MyCiTi bus from the city center to the 'Table Mountain Aerial Cableway' station. The bus fare is approximately ZAR 15-20. Once you arrive at the cableway station, you can either walk to the Pipe Track Trailhead which is about a 15-minute walk along Tafelberg Road, or you can catch a taxi or rideshare service to the trailhead. Be aware that the walk is uphill, so wear comfortable shoes.
Taxi/Rideshare

For a more direct option, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Uber. Simply enter 'Pipe Track Trail' as your destination. The cost from the city center is typically around ZAR 100-150, depending on traffic. This is a convenient option if you want to avoid public transport and have a direct drop-off at the trailhead.
