Table Mountain is Cape Town’s most famous icon and, as part of the Western Cape Floral Kingdom, was declared a World Heritage Site in 2004. Towering over the city, the mountain is visible from 200km out at sea and is often covered with clouds - we call it the tablecloth. Table Mountain is home to more than 1 470 species of plant - more than in the entire United Kingdom. 200 of them are found nowhere else. Take a 10-minute cable car ride and enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain. Cameras compulsory. For the more energetic, there are a number of walks on or up the mountain, ranging from easy to adventurous. Table Mountain also offers rock climbing routes at various grades - as well as the opportunity, for the brave, to abseil off it... no wonder it’s a Top Ten Western Cape attraction.

CAPE POINT 

Situated at the junction of two of earth's most contrasting water masses - the cold Benguela current on the West Coast & the warm Agulhas current on the East Coast , the Cape of Good Hope is popularly perceived as the meeting point of the Atlantic & the Indian Oceans. Geographically, however, the Indian Ocean joins the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Agulhas. The local authority proclaimed the area a nature reserve in 1938 & it was incorporated into the Table Mountain National Park in 1998. It encompasses 7 750 hectares of rich & varied flora & fauna & its 40 kilometers coastline stretches from Schuster's Bay in the west to Smitswinkel Bay in the east. The cliffs at the southern point, towering more than 200 meters above the sea, consists of three clearly defined promontories - Cape of Good Hope, Cape Maclear & Cape Point.
