Table Mountain in the beautiful city of Cape Town. Table Mountain Aerial Cableway has something for everyone, which is why it has attracted so many visitors since its opening in 1929. Take the five-minute cable car trip to the top of Table Mountain, 1 089 metres above Cape Town, and explore the summit. This is a great spot to sit and soak up the commanding 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, the nearby peaks of the surrounding mountains and the rest of the Table Mountain National Park, in which the Cableway is situated.

About our cable cars:

  • The cable cars have a carrying capacity of 65 people, Transporting approximately 800 people per hour.
  • Maximum speed is 10 metres per second.
  • The cables weigh 18 tonnes and are 1.2km each in length.
  • Each cable car can carry a weight of 5 200kg.
  • Similar rotating cable cars are in use at Mount Titlis in Switzerland and in Palm Springs, USA.
  • The base of the cable cars have built-in water tanks carrying 4 000 litres of water used for ballast in the windy season and to supply fresh water for visitors.
  • The cables are attached to counter weights, each weighing 134 tonnes.
  • The cable cars are round to provide a 360° view, and to be aerodynamic in high winds (which means a smoother ride for you).

table mountain

The crown jewel in the Cape Floristic Region, Table Mountain is home to an incredible diversity of endemic species. The Cape Floral Kingdom is the smallest of the world’s six plant kingdoms, but is the richest for its size, with over 8500 distinct species, many of which grow nowhere else. Key to the diversity of the floral kingdom found throughout the Peninsula is the range of animal and insect species that have developed unique partnerships with plants. The most commonly seen animals are the Rock Hyrax (or ‘Dassie’), but it is the smaller species, such as sunbirds and sugarbirds, who perform a vital role in pollinating the range of flowering plants our mountain is so well known for. Playing a less-visible, but no less important role, are species such as the Pugnacious Ant, which bury seeds, thus protecting them from fire and predators.
