Table Mountain Cable Car
Take a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain (weather-dependent) to enjoy the magnificent view of the Cape.

Table Mountain is a scenic photographic background where you can take breathtaking photos of Cape Town.
**Note that the cable car ride up Table Mountain is weather-dependent.
Visit Boulders Beach
Visiting the historic naval port of Simon’s Town and the endearing African penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
