    Advantages Advantages Fantastic Views, Safe, Reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not ideal for someone scared of heights

    My two favourite places in the whole wide world are Cape Town and Orlando mainly because they hold some fantastic memories, and as I am catching up on all of my reviews that I have been meaning to write I came across this one begging to be written. Firstly I should explain about Table Mountain, for those of you not familiar with this breathtaking landmark. The best views of Cape Town can be seen from the summit of Table Mountain with over 2km of pathways you can really experience this amazing place which is 1067 metres above sea level, the highest point is 1085m. The Cable card ride is the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quick and easy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as much sense of achievement as walking

    Table Moutain is a must see for anyone visiting Cape Town. I was staying in the popular backpacking destination of Long Street and easily got a taxi to the Table Mountain Cableway. I had thoughts about at least walking to the cable cars but it really is a long way! It's considered quite expensive by locals but as a tourist it wasn't too pricey. R85 for a student ticket (usually only SA student cards accepted) and around R100 for the general public. There was barely a wait as the car can fit a lot of people. The car then rotates as it goes up the mountain so everyone gets a chance to take ... more

    Advantages Advantages The best view of Cape Town

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Parking in peak periods

    I had previously been up the cable car but in March last year I took my partner up to enjoy the experience. The cable car station is situated part way up the face of the mpuntain but is very well signposted from town. Upon entry you may be put off by the large number of cars trying to find a place to park but do not let this deter you as you there are constantly people coming and going and a space will become available. We found one after a few minutes after entry. There was a queue to purchase tickets, approximately GBP 10.00 for a return, but this moved swiftly and we were soon at the ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Cable Car Ride up Table Mountain by Level 1 dc100 03/11/2007
    The ride with the cable car up to Table Mountain is very exiting. Inside the cable car rotates so you can see all the sinery around you. You can see the protia flower which is the national flower of South Africa. You can also see the sea if you are lucky enough to be facing it. So next time you visit South Africa I recommend you go see Tabe Mountain and take the cable car.

    Advantages Advantages Fabulous views

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cant visit when the Table cloth is down (Clouds)

    What can I say ,not a place if you are scared of heights ,but let me tell you I have been on the cable car up to table mountian twice now ,back in the seventies when they had the old cable car ,and again in the nineties with the cable car now upgraded the ride is alot smoother. I was very scared at first but went along with my family and didn't want the kids to see how scared that I was.. But the view is fantastic looking from the top of Table Mountian and looking over the bay ,And watching the little animals they call the rock dassie's,running in ond out of the rocks Sending a post card can ... more
