It’s easier than ever to swap your winter commute to work for a summer cable car ride up a mountain – with the great service you’d expect from British Airways, now flying direct from London Gatwick to Cape Town

To celebrate the fact that British Airways are now flying non-stop from London Gatwick to Cape Town, we're offering Time Out readers the chance to be some of the first to jump on a BA plane and do just that.

And why wouldn't you want to? Not only is this stunning South African city steeped in history, famed for its natural splendour, acclaimed for its gastronomy and made colourful by its vibrant cultural scene, it's also just about to blossom into its most beautiful season. Summers don't get much better than summer in Cape Town. 

So if you fancy spending a Saturday morning browsing the bustling stalls on Greenmarket Square, getting up close to nature at Boulders African Penguin Colony or hearing dramatic true stories retold at the fascinating Robben Island Museum, all you need to do is click below and enter one of the two competitions we've put together for you. 

You can enter either by answering one very easy question, or by hunting down the animals we've let loose across London and taking their picture. (Pith helmets encouraged.)
