Birthdays are a great way to celebrate your life, and celebrations can sometimes be expensive. To save some cash, here are a few fun and free things to do in Cape Town on your birthday.
Table Mountain Aerial way:
Table Mountain gives birthday boys and girls 18 and older the chance to take a free return trip up the mountain in their cable-car. All you need is your ID to go mountain high. Tickets are valid on your birthday and the week thereafter. A return trip typically costs R330, so this birthday special is quite the steal.
