Winter Holidays are upon us and instead of having the children may be tempted to succumb to the slump, and spend the weeks indoors let them have an outdoor adventure by visiting Table Mountain.
A wonderland of biodiversity and natural splendour, right on Capetonians doorstep. “When Winter hits in sunny South Africa, there’s no better place to experience the season’s magic than on Table Mountain. With its stunning views, and cosy atmosphere, the mountain offers a unique and serene experience,” says TMACC’s Executive Director, Selma Hercules.
“Fewer crowds and quieter roads make winter the perfect opportunity for locals to take a cable car ride to enjoy the top of Table Mountain. The pristine locales of the mountain and its surrounds are a veritable winter wonderland in Africa. You might even be surprised with a bit of snow!” she says.
This year, sees the return of Kidz Season, which will run until Sunday 14 July. Families can take advantage of an incredible 3-for-1 deal, where two children ride for free with the purchase of a Kidz Season adult return ticket at just R490.

Once you are at the top keep an eye out for dassies, and other creatures of the mountain which you may see scampering among the rocks. You can even join one of our free guided walks led by our knowledgeable staff, who will share fascinating stories about the mountain’s geology, flora, and fauna.

Also pop in at our Shop at the Top which offers a variety of retail items, including books and toys.
