For visitors in Cape Town over the Easter weekend, who decide to visit Table Mountain, they may be in for a bit of a surprise. They could be quietly walking around on the top of the mountain, minding their own business and enjoying the sights … when suddenly they see an Easter Bunny hopping around …

And no, it will NOT be anything to do with the high altitude. Instead, it is all thanks to the Table Mountain Cableway, who are hosting some fun family activites over this weekend.

If you spot the Easter Bunny, just take a photo of him on your cell / mobile phone, and send it into this address : photos@tablemountain.net – for your chance to win a set of family tickets for another trip up the Cableway.

Other activities include an Easter egg hunt, Easter basket making, and a visit from the Easter fairy and the Mad Hatter.

If you want to join in the fun, you should meet at the Twelve Apostles Terrace, on the top of Table Mountain, any time between 10 am and 2 pm on each day over the Easter weekend.

The Table Mountain Cafe will also be offering a special Easter menu.

Adults pay R160 per person return and children under 18 years pay R80 per person return. Children under 3 years ride free.

The Cableway operates weather permitting.

For information visit www.tablemountain.net or call 027 (21) 424 8181.

Not only does the weak Rand mean that a holiday to South Africa represents truly great value, but many hotels and safari lodges are running some unbelievable promotions, even over the Easter period.

We have pulled together a selection of special offers that are running over Easter, although space is limited everywhere and we would not expect all these offers to be available for long.

You can either browse the list of available offers and ask us to check availability for you, or alternatively ask us to suggest an Easter safari or holiday for you.

The early Easter this year means that the contrast between weather in South Africa and the UK over the holiday period is even  more marked than usual.

Whilst much of the UK is forecast to have a cold-snap over the Easter weekend, Cape Town is set to see clear skies and temperatures of up to 29°c over the next 5 days.

The picture is the same over the rest of the country, with Kruger seeing some showers today but then turning dry with plenty of clear skies and temperatures up to 30°c over the weekend.

With the tourist exchange rates for the Rand currently floating around the R15.00 = £1.00, sunny skies and some places still reporting late availability, it might not be too late to book a short notice getaway to South Africa this Easter.
