If you are a visitor to the Cape, even if you are a local but enjoy the experience of going up Table Mountain in the rotating cable car, then you should take advantage of the special which is running until February 28th.
The special allows you to get to the top of this universally recognized landmark, after 6pm for just half-price. This means that you can catch sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, with a glass of wine or bubbly in your hand and a picnic basket full of delicious snacks. Make sure you take your camera because the scenery is spectacular.
The sun is setting just after 7:30pm at the moment so if you get to the top just after 6pm then make sure you explore the view points along the top on both the city and Atlantic seaboard side. The days at this time of year are still mostly clear and warm with very little wind although be aware that you will need something to keep you warm once the sun has gone down.
The special price for this gem is R80 return for adults and R40 for kids. The last car comes down at 8:30pm so you have a decent amount of time up there to make the most of this special price and the experience. Check out the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway website for more information.
