We were met at the Cape Town airport on 4/14 by Hans, our private guide for the next four days. His first tour commenced on Saturday, April 15, as we toured Cape Town itself, starting with Table Mountain. We took the cable car to the top. It's a very modern cable car with a floor that rotates to give everyone a view as the car ascends the mountain. The top of the mountain is inhabited by many small, gopher-like animals called Dassies. Despite their small size, they share a similar DNA to elephants. The elevation of the upper cable station is 1,067 meters.
