Going up Table Mountain will make any kid high. Guaranteed.

It was a highlight of my kids’ trip to Cape Town, in a week of highlights that included penguins at Boulders, beach trips to Muizenberg, Fish Hoek and Noordhoek, the City Sightseeing Bus and the Two Oceans Aquarium.

Table Mountain is one of my favourite of South Africa’s many attractions. Just a few beautiful minutes up in the cable car, and you can be in another world, far from the city and day-to-day bustle of 21st century life.
