The cable car swings like a slow pendulum up Table Mountain and the city unfurls beneath you — a jagged grid of streets, the serrated spine of Lion's Head, and the Atlantic collapsing into white surf along the Twelve Apostles.

Adventure Tips
Start early for calmer winds
Book a morning cable car slot to avoid gusty summit winds and heavy crowds; it gives clearer views and smoother photos.
Wear layered clothing
Cape Town’s microclimates shift fast — bring a windproof layer for the summit and lighter clothes for sea-level stops.
Respect penguin walkways
Stay on designated boardwalks at Boulders Beach to protect nesting sites and avoid disturbing the African penguins.
Charge and waterproof your camera
Long coastal drives and sudden spray mean bring spare batteries and a weather-resistant case for phones and cameras.
