• For example: visitors born in October are able to collect and redeem their free birthday ticket on any day in October (even if it’s before your actual birthday)
• Regardless of when your actual birth date falls during your birthday month, you cannot redeem your free birthday ticket the following month.
• For example: anyone born on 31 October cannot use their birthday ticket in November
• Tickets are only available to South African citizens. You will also have to present a valid South African identity document, South African driving licence or South African birth certificate on arrival at the Cableway.

About Table Mountain

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is steeped in rich history and symbolism. To the indigenous people of the Cape, the Khoisan, Table Mountain was known as Hoerikwaggo, meaning ‘mountain in the sea’.

Table Mountain is a leading tourist attraction, a New7Wonders of Nature and is estimated to be over 200 million years old – with some rocks around the base estimated at 500 million years old.

This December will see the tenth anniversary of Table Mountain being inaugurated as one of the New7Wonders of Nature. The award was confirmed in December 2012, recognising the mountain as the most accessible of the New7Wonders and the only one to be found in a city.

It has helped shape Cape Town and South Africa’s history, tracing some of its roots back to the Stone Age.

Happy exploring! And before you leave home, “Got the passports?”
