Visited Cape town in September and had a fantastic time. You must not miss a trip in the cable car up to Table Mountain. whenever you can see the top of it - make the visit - the mists ocme down rapidly so don't put it off - you might not get another chance whilst on holiday. September was a... more

Just back from a wonderful trip to Capetown and South Africa in general. Table mountain just dominates the skyline in and around capetown. The day in the city can be hot with no wind but the table cloth can still be down over the mountain or the wind can be too high and the cable cars won't be running. My... more

The place is very beautiful. It has been a full view of Cape Town. We took the route of a City Sightseeing bus (http://www.city-sightseeing.com), which cost R120 per person, and arrived around 10am in the morning. The queue was too big, and took about 1:30 a.m. to subirmos. Then we get about 3-4 hours upstairs. It is worth. It is... more

You cannot visit Cape Town and not go to the top of Table Mountain. After all, the city wraps around Table Mountain, and the flat topped mountain gives the city it's distinctive skyline. There are two options to get to the top of Table Mountain: 1) climb 2) take the aerial cableway. A group of friends and I were going... more

I'm scared of heights so the thoughts of going up and down the mountain in a cable car was quite daunting, but I made it and I'm still here to tell the story! Everyone warns you that timing is all on a visit to Table Mountain - be aware that it took us three visits to arrive and find ideal... more

I went there in February. The hotel I stayed in had views of the mountain from the swimming pool floor. It was not unusual for people to come up to see if the cable cars were operating and then deciding to go. We visited around midday, when the weather was sunny and the sky clear. Visiting Table mountain was a... more

It's an awesome Mountain, and i'd rate my experience Excellent otherwise, but unforunately While we were in Cape Town in August the cable car was closed for the entire duration of our stay. They always close it in the winter for maintenence, and we were unaware of this and it was very unfortunate. So make sure if you are keen... more
