The gun is fired every day at noon. Having being shocked for a couple of days when it went off we decided to see it in action. There are 2 soldiers who set the gun off. One explained the history and how they load 2 guns in case one doesn't work. It is out of the way and not much to see there but it's still worth the visit and we are so glad we made it. Can highly recommend

We went on tour to Cape Town. The stadium looks nice, no words for the corruption that may have occurred but it turned out well. Blends into the landscape and behind it is the weekend market, nice place.

We just turned up ‘on spec’ and walked straight on, no need to book. We had a supposedly air conditioned cabin to ourselves but we were so hot we had to open the small windows at the top. The cabins offer amazing 360 degree views over the V & A Waterfront; the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, harbour, docks and cruise terminal, Victoria Wharf shopping centre, and of course wonderful views of the iconic Table Mountain. We could not see Robben Island where we had been earlier. We had 5 revolutions so had plenty of opportunities to take good photographs of the panoramic views. We certainly enjoyed our ride but ‘passed’ on the extremely expensive photographs available on our exit!
