When the sun is out and the days are warm, a visit to Table Mountain is the perfect way to enjoy the Mother City and take in some fresh air.

Table Mountain Cableway’s Sunset Special will be running for another month or so. Until February 29, you can get your tickets at half-price after 18h00 (valid on return tickets only).

It’s so much fun trying to interpret the Table Mountain dassies’ facial expressions. We had photobombing dassie, fearless dassie, and now … Chilling dassie. Sunbathing? Napping? Who knows?

This is an interesting take on Table Mountain at night. Here, Table Mountain looms over Cape Town’s inner city, keeping a constant eye on the Mother City.

As cable cars ascend to the summit of Table Mountain, picture-perfect views of Cape Town and the ocean can be seen… escape the stress and worries of day-to-day life on the ground, and spend some time with your head in the clouds for a change!

Head in the clouds? That’s not always a bad thing, as can be see in the wonderful cloud formation above a glowing Table Mountain and shimmering Cape Town. 

A very happy 2012 to all our visitors and fans!

There’s a truly magical moment every day as the sun sets behind Table Mountain and the lights go on in the city below. Stephen Frank, a visitor to Cape Town from Johannesburg, went up the mountain on the Sunset Special last week and captured that perfect instant when “the light takes on a pastel-coloured, surreal quality”.

The Cableway is keeping things festive this December, with lots planned for visitors over the Christmas period. Father Christmas is indeed coming to town, and will be visiting the Cableway on Saturday, December 24, and Sunday, December 25.

Unbeatable view? We think so. A place to reflect on 2011’s ups and downs? That’s our mountain. Table Mountain Cableway is delighted to host visitors and locals in Cape Town during the festive season – take advantage of our Sunset Special that grants you half-price access to a magical mountain and a magical city.
