Table Mountain Cableway to close this month – Here's why
The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will undergo its annual maintenance shutdown this month, from Monday, 28 July to Sunday, 3 August 2025.
According to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC), operations are then scheduled to resume on Monday, 4 August, weather permitting.
The shutdown, which occurs each year, is part of routine maintenance aimed at ensuring the continued safety and reliability of the cable car system. Annual maintenance shutdown incoming
'During the shutdown, all Cableway facilities, including the Top and Lower Stations, restrooms, restaurants, and shops will be closed.' TMACC said on its website.
Despite the closure, Table Mountain will remain accessible to hikers, with most trails and walkways staying open.
Hikers are advised to plan accordingly, as there will be no cable car available for descent. Weather conditions can also change quickly, so visitors should come prepared for a full hike and monitor forecasts closely.
The Cableway Company also urges visitors to take advantage of the 'Local is Lekker' special while the cableway remains open.
The special is open for the rest of the month, until 27 July, and locals pay only R250 per adult and R100 per child (SA ID required).
