Table Mountain Cableway in Cape Town to close for annual maintenance!

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) has announced that the Table Mountain Cableway in Cape Town, South Africa, will be temporarily closed for scheduled annual maintenance from Monday, 28 July 2025, until Sunday, 03 August 2025. The popular Cape Town attraction is expected to reopen, weather permitting, on Monday, 04 August 2025.
During the maintenance shutdown, all cable car operations will be suspended, and both the Upper and Lower Cableway Stations will be inaccessible to the public. This annual closure is part of TMACC’s commitment to safety, reliability, and world-class service standards. Each year, the cableway undergoes comprehensive inspections and essential upgrades to ensure it continues to meet the highest international safety regulations.
While the cable cars will not operate during this period, hiking up Table Mountain remains permitted at hikers’ own risk. However, please note that all visitor facilities - including VIEWS by De Grendel, TEN67 Eatery, KLOUD Bar, TAP Bar, The Shop at the Top, and the ablution facilities - will be closed for the duration of the maintenance.
If your birthday falls between 28 July 2025 and 03 August 2025, you can still claim your free birthday cableway ticket during the month of your birthday — excluding the maintenance period. To redeem your ticket, present a valid South African ID, driver’s licence, or birth certificate that includes your SA ID number at the ticket office.

The Table Mountain Cableway has been offering panoramic cable car rides to the top of Table Mountain since 04 October 1929, providing millions of visitors with a breathtaking five-minute journey to one of the most iconic landmarks in Africa. Overlooking the Mother City, this world-renowned attraction continues to be a must-visit for tourists and locals alike.
