Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Celebrates 31 Millionth Visitor with Fanfare

In a remarkable testament to its enduring appeal as one of Cape Town's most iconic attractions, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) celebrated a significant milestone yesterday – welcoming its 31 millionth visitor. The visitor of honor was Gerda Pretorius, a resident of Bloemfontein, who was visiting the city with her husband. What made the occasion particularly memorable for Gerda was that this visit marked her first return to Table Mountain in over thirty years.

The momentous occasion played out at the cableway station where an unsuspecting Gerda was greeted with the good news as she was ceremoniously plucked from the queue. In recognition of her milestone status, she was bestowed with a special gift hamper – a gesture that encapsulates the warm hospitality Cape Town is known for.

Since its inception on October 4, 1929, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway has served as more than just a mode of transportation to the summit of Table Mountain; it has been a vessel through which countless individuals have experienced the sweeping vistas of Cape Town, with its 360-degree views during the cable car's sharp ascent.

Despite its long history, the TMACC continues to innovate and enhance the guest experience. The addition of VISTA in September 2023 represents a leap forward in the company's offerings. Poised elegantly at the mountain's summit, VISTA provides an exclusive venue that caters to both local and international guests looking to host memorable events in a setting that boasts some of the most spectacular views in the world.

The TMACC encourages visitors planning to experience the beauty of Table Mountain firsthand to buy tickets online. This convenience, however, does not preclude the possibility of queues, especially during peak times. Visitors are advised to plan accordingly and arrive with ample time to spare to ensure a smooth journey to one of Africa's most breathtaking natural wonders.

The story of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is one of continuous growth and commitment to providing unique experiences to its guests, as highlighted by the warm reception given to Gerda Pretorius.
