Celebrate Tourism Month this September by being a tourist in your own city

Grab those specials at Table Mountain Aerial Cableway

September is Tourism Month, and there’s no better time to rediscover the beauty of Cape Town than now. Whether you’re soaking in the breathtaking views from Table Mountain or exploring the vibrant city below, this is the perfect opportunity to be a tourist in your own town! Plus, with Heritage Day on 24 September and World Tourism Day on 27 September, it’s time to get out there, explore, and celebrate all the magic our city has to offer!

“To help you make the most of Tourism and Heritage Month, the team at Table Mountain Aerial Cableway (TMACC) has put together a few specials that will make your trip up the mountain the highlight of your staycation,” says Selma Hercules, Executive Director at TMACC.

Is it your birthday? Your celebration is on us!

We’ve got a gift for all South Africans who celebrated their birthday during our recent annual maintenance period (15 July – 1 September 2024), and to keep the good vibes going, all September birthday babies get to join in too! Take a complimentary return trip up the cable car by simply bringing your SA ID. If you’ve ever wanted a birthday party with the best view in town, this is it! Offer valid until 30 September.

Celebrate Heritage Day with immaculate views.

Heritage Day is all about embracing our roots, and what better way to do it than with an adventure to the top of Cape Town’s most iconic landmark? Gather your friends and family, pack a picnic, and take in the beauty of Cape Town from the top of the world!

Rediscover your backyard this World Tourism Day.

We celebrate World Tourism Day on 27 September, and this is your reminder that you don’t need to travel far to experience something spectacular. Whether you’ve lived in Cape Town your whole life or just moved here, it’s time to explore the city like a tourist. Dust off your camera, grab a map (or your phone!) and take in all the sights you might have missed before.

Seniors, this one’s for you!

Our senior citizens deserve only the best, and that’s why South African citizens aged 60 years and older can enjoy discounted return tickets every day of the week! Once you’re at the summit, stop by the TEN67 Eatery for our exclusive pensioner meal special. Because who doesn’t love good food with a fantastic view, right?

Take a break from the books and soak in the outside.

Let’s face it, life can get pretty hectic. But with TMACC’s student special, you can take a well-deserved break and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Local and international students with valid student cards, get a discounted ticket to the top. Treat yourself to something delicious at one of our eateries while you’re up there. Pizza, pasta, or cake? Yes, please!

Enjoy year-round fun with a TMACC virtual cable card.

Why stop at one visit? With the Virtual Cable Card, you can enjoy year-round access to the Cableway, plus exclusive discounts and perks. If you love the mountain as much as we do, this card will be your ultimate ticket to adventure all year long!

“This Tourism Month, let’s take time to explore, celebrate, and reconnect with the beauty right on our doorstep,” says Hercules. “With ongoing roadworks on Tafelberg Road, we urge visitors to make the most of our free “Park and Ride” service from the parking lot at the base of the road.”

From the towering summit of Table Mountain to the streets of Cape Town below, every corner is bursting with adventure just waiting to be discovered.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your camera, pack your sense of wonder, and let’s make this month one to remember. Whether you’re celebrating Heritage Day with loved ones or marking World Tourism Day with a solo adventure, Table Mountain is ready to welcome you back.

Pro tip: Don’t wait! These specials are available at our ticket office – see you at the top!
