Table Mountain offers the most breathtaking views of Cape Town and beyond. The geology of the area is also fascinating. Don't be put off by the brightly painted cable car and queues. Start early, pack a snack to enjoy when you're up there, take binoculars along with your camera, and take your time!

It was too cold to move around. The buzz order system need to be monitored constantly, if a wrong order number is punched, you can wait forever.

I enjoyed going to the top of Table Mountain. Perfect weather during my November visit provided me with clear blue sky and awesome panoramic views of the city. If you're a shutterbug....bring your camera and a tripod. You won't want to miss these photos.

I'm not sure what we expected seeing Table Mountain in the distance from the city of Cape Town, but once at the top, we were awed! The views and topography of the area was spectacular! Definitely take the cable car to the top, but don't hesitate to go the very first opportunity you can go....the next day, the weather may... More

If you are going up to Table mountain . I would definitely recommend you taking the RED Bus sight seeing tour. I really informs you about everything of interest on your scenic journey to the top of a mountain top with breath taking views.

We were really lucky with the weather, it was unusually cloud free on our visit! The views are mind blowing and the able car is totally non-scary...even if you image James Bond and Jaws on the roof!

This was our second visit to table mountain, took the kids this time. The view on a clear day is simply stunning. The cost is worth the trip but a work of advice, the fiorst clear day you have in Cape Town should have you making the journey as the weather turns bad quickly and when the cliud comes in,... More
