Collette van Aswegen, Marketing Manager for the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, talks about the facilities and activities atop Cape Town’s most famous landmark. This podcast includes information about the walks, animals and views that can be experienced on the mountain.
The idea of providing public transport to the top of Table Mountain goes back to the 1870s in Cape Town. The suggestion then was a railway line. Work started but the Anglo-Boer war put paid to the undertaking. In 1912 a suggestion came forward for a funicular railway. The First World War stopped this development.
