Taking the new Rotating Cable Cars up to the Top of Table Mountain was a highlight on our trip before we even set out for Cape Town. Having last gone up there in 1987 I was not very excited about having to go up on the Cable Car - I have to say its not as much the hight as... more

Once on... more

It is difficult to not use superlatives when describing Cape Town scenery, but the views from Table Mountain are certainly deserving of any such description. There are two ways to ascend Table Mountain, by cable car and by using one of several trails of varying difficulty. As other reviewers have noted, the cable car is easier but also subject to... more

Anyone who travels to Cape Town should definitely either hike or take the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain. The view is fantastic!!! You can look out over the whole city and the ocean. Give yourself a couple of hours to walk around the paths at the top so that you can experience the view from each... more

September was a... more
