A must-do in Cape Town is a trip to the top of the iconic Table Mountain.Table Mountain was under the sea some 600 million years ago where glaciers rubbed it flat before it was pushed out by movement of the tectonic plates.
The plateau is seriously beautiful and has 3 nature walkways to explore. Its altitude is some 1085 metres at its highest point.

The car revolves as it climbs and descends down the mountain top with a maximum speed of 10 metres per second and carry some 4000 litres of water as ballast. Each cable is some 1200 metres each.
The cost is ZAR160/ZAR105 for adults/students return, although there is a walkway which I am reliably informed takes some 2 hours to hike.
