I think if you have good visibility on the ground and if you can see Table Mountain from the ground, there should be good visibility from the top.

The last cable car up in July is 4pm and the last down is 5pm. That would mean allowing up to an hour through the airport and an hour to get through Cape Town traffic (including quick bag drop at hotel) you would probably not make it.

The website has tons of useful information and is chosen by many local South Africans. Search "tablemountaintickets" on Google and find the COM or CO ZA extention. The website.

I think this year would be my 50th time in Cape Town! Not bad for my age of 76. My daughter likes to spend time on top of the Cable Car near the shop and resturant. There are many things to do including sight seeing, Dassie watching and cafe. The down Cable Car ride is easy because the passes are issued return trip

The "South Easter" wind clears up allot of the clouds on the mountain if they are present in the morning. You can also check Lion's Head for signs of isolated clouds.
