it was a pleasant and bright morning- the best time to visit the table mountain, the most prominent and iconic land mark in Cape Town.We , a group of seniors , decided to travel by the aerial rope way to its top. A big crowd of tourists and school kids chaperoned by teachers, had already gathered there with the same...

If you go all the way to Cape and do not go here you are severely misguided. This place is simply amazing. Go in the morning when they first open and on a clear day. If there are some clouds ok, but if clouds near save it for a different day. As I understand you can get tickets for 175...

Visiting Table Mountain is a must if you are in Cape Town. If possible, purchase your admission tickets ahead of time online, as it will save you time in the ticket line. Also they sometimes limit the number of people who are allowed up the Mountain at any one time...those with pre-purchased tickets will not be turned away. Unfortunately, the...

A must on all tourists agenda, and even locals too! The views from the top are great, and the mountian offers great experiences at the top, with hikes and walks, a restaurant with a view, a cable car experience (which rotates all the way around, and it open!) and a 112meters abseil WITH A SURPRISE HALF WAY DOWN!!! and a...

We had a perfect day weatherwise, cable car to the top. Best to go early morning before the crowds. The views from the top were unbelievable.

Table Mountain on a clear day has breathtaking views! It was one of our highlights of our trip to Capetown. We had a wonderful lunch at the restaurant on top as well.

Too beautiful for words...that's how I would describe the views from Table Mountain. The aerial ride, the unobstructed views from the mountain top, and the over all peaceful atmosphere contributed to my enjoyment of this experience. I rate this as a must see for every visitor to Capetown, South Africa.

Very windy at the top but we didn't hang around long as we were abseiling down. Half way down the weather completely changed as we were facing away from the wind. The views were stunning.

As others have said, this is a 'must do' if you are in Cape Town. We were unable to visit for a couple of days because of bad weather and the cable car was closed. However, we did manage it on the morning of our departure from Cape Town and we were so pleased that we did not miss the...
