Ascend to the top of the mountain in 6 minutes. As you travel upwards, you’ll pass above a nature reserve. Spot giraffe, zebra, and small antelope from your bird’s eye view. Once you reach the top, you’ll be able to choose from a number of restaurants. Have a drink at the Lookout Bar and sip as a cocktail as you marvel at the spectacular view of the eastern side of the region. Walk “The Dassie Walk,” a 1,200-meter walkway which circles the circumference of the mountain top. Stop at the informative waypoint along the way and learn about the surrounding area. Take the cable car back and return to the starting point.

  It was not my first time at the cable view ; however you guys need to look at talking to your Marshall’s to direct p poke accordingly. I stood on a wrong line for more than an hour because there was no one to tell me that am on a wrong line. I had to buy tickets online and this made to miss my birthday free ride My birthday is on the 26/09
