 Table Mountain cable car by Jenniflower
A good idea, if you are planning on going up the mountain, is to check their website, which they update daily.
Here they mention whether they will be operating that day, as high winds and other conditions make this quite dangerous.
Cape Town is renowned for her strong South Easter, and she makes herself well known often! The Cableway does not take bookings due to the unpredictability of the weather.
On the site it mentions: Visibility, Wind, Temperature and when it was last updated Leave a Comment Address: Lower Cable Station, Tafelberg Road, CT 8001Phone: (021) 424 8181Directions: The Lower Cable Station is on Tafelberg Road, which is located on the mountainside, overlooking the city centre.Website: http://www.tablemountain.net Other Contact: fax: (021) 424-3792

Do NOT hike down Table Mountain. It is very dangerous. Yes, you dont need a whole day fr the mountain, as long as you come down on the cable car. You will nee a full day for the wine farms. It is beautiful and scenic. Leave a Comment

 view from cable car by antonela
This state of the art Swiss cable car was installed in 1997, it can complete a 360 degree rotation on its way to the top giving passengers a full panorama.
Every 10-20 minutes.
May-Oct 8.30 to 6.p.m.
Nov. - 7.30 to 9 p.m.
Dec-Aprl - 7.30 to 10 p.m.
try and watch the sundown up Table Mountain, it is spectacular.
A height of 1073 m From here you can walk along a circular paved path to get spectacular view of Table Bay on one side and the Atklantic seabord on the other.
There is a bistro/restaurant . A flat walk across the plateau will take you 40 min to Mclears's beacon. Leave a Comment Address: Cape TownPhone: 0214255148Directions: Lower cable station Tafelberg roadWebsite: http://www.tablemountain.net Other Contact: 0214248181

 On Table Mountain by myriam_c
The cablecar is quite interesting, it has a rotating floor so that every passenger can enjoy the ride (2 min.) and the views to a maximum.
Table Mountain is not so high, 1085 m only, but it's special because its top is flat as a table and is often covered by a "tablecloth" of clouds.
We were lucky with the weather: sunny, blue skies and not a single cloud. The views from above were spectacular: we could see all over the city of Cape Town and the surrounding beaches.
There are a few walk trails on top of Table Mountain: the inner circle (15 min.), the outer circle (30 min.) or from the cable station to Platteklip Gorge (40 min. roundtrip). Watch out for klipdassies. They look sweet but they BITE! Leave a Comment

 Cloud at the cable car on
Table Mountain by Jenniflower
Tourists come here in droves, as do the locals (albeit being very expensive for them especially!) As a local one can get a Wild Card though, which gives huge discounts to various sites, this being one of them.
The mountain is part of a nature reserve, with unique plant life, dassies, walkways and the most beautiful views in all directions. There is s hop at the top which sells the usual mementos and some food and drink too.
The cable car is very nice to go up the mountain with, many go up in it, and walk down. The walk takes a couple of hours.
The cable car is revolving and the bottom of it is glass, giving you a panoramic view over the city of Cape Town and the harbour, as you ascend the mountain.
Remember to pre book in summer due to its popularity, and take a jacket with you, as even if it is warm at the bottom of the mountain, it is chilly at the top.
Definately something you HAVE to experience when visiting Cape Town! Leave a Comment Address: Cape Town peninsulaPhone: (021) 424 8181Directions: Hard to miss when in Cape Town!!! haha (It's the HUGE flat-topped mountain!) :)Website: www.tablemountain.net

 Me and my Norwegian friend
atop Table Mountain by phil_uk_net
A cable car takes visitors to the top. The latest ones have cars that revolve 360 degrees as they traverse to the top of the mountain.
The views of CT from the top of the mountain are great, provided weather conditions are in your favour.
Keep a look out for the Rock Dassies scurrying around. These are cute little animals that look a bit rodent-like but are actually related to elephants in their genetic makeup. Leave a Comment

 View down to the cable
car station by chikidee
If you don't know the mountain I advise you to take Platteklipp Gorge. That's the easiest way to find but pretty hard to walk up because there are many steps.
On top the view is fantastic! And it makes you feel good when you walked all the way up and look down to the cable car station... amazing that you started down there only a few hours ago... Leave a Comment
