Starting today, 4 August, visitors can once again ride the cableway and enjoy Cape Town’s breathtaking views from above.
“Our annual shutdown allows us to carry out essential upgrades and make sure the Cableway runs at the highest possible standards,” Selma Hercules, Executive Director of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) said. “We’re delighted to welcome visitors to the mountain again!”
