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

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
