Buy Cable Car Tickets Online
The line for the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway can be 2 hours long in summer. Book tickets online, and if the weather is clear, drop everything and go immediately.
Use Uber Everywhere
Uber is incredibly cheap and extremely safe in Cape Town compared to hailing metered taxis off the street.
Take the Franschhoek Wine Tram
Don't drink and drive. Book the open-air 'Wine Tram' in Franschhoek, which drops you off at multiple world-class wine estates.
Go Beyond Boulders Boardwalks
Instead of paying just for the main Boulders viewing deck, walk a few minutes further to Foxy Beach, where you can actually swim in the ocean alongside the penguins.
