Life in Cape Town is about enjoyment, relaxation, and fun; it's hard not to get caught up in this atmosphere. For a spectacular trip up Table Mountain, check out Table Mountain Aerial Cableway. The first Table Mountain cableway was opened on October 4, 1929. Since that date over 11 million people have used the service, and it's still extremely popular today. The circulating cableway provides spectacular views, offering a leisurely panorama of the city and surrounds. If you're feeling adventurous, you could take the cable car to the summit and then hike down Table Mountain using one of the 550 established routes.
If you are tired of riding horses or bicycles, why not try a camel? These ugly and ungainly, yet graceful creatures offer you the experience of a lifetime. The Camel Rides attraction offers short circuit rides as well as longer trips into the surrounding bushveld and vleilands. Rides are offered every day except Mondays and during inclement weather.
For amusement park fun, South African style, visit Ratanga Junction. This is an amusement park with a South African twist. Rides like The Cobra, Monkey Falls, Tarantula, and Bar-One Bushwacker roller coaster offer white-knuckle excitement for people of all ages. With over 30 attractions, from snake shows to train rides, Ratanga Junction is the place to go for a fun day out. Always buzzing with exciting activities, there's no end to the fun things you can see and do in Cape Town.
