A world heritage site, Cape Town’s famous landmark is even bigger in stature than its 1086 m summit. Enjoy lunch from the top or visit the souvenir shop after riding up in the new revolving cable car. The mountain also offers a myriad of enchanting walks featuring everything from wild flowers, indigenous plants and its famous silver trees.
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
On the eastern slopes of Table Mountain sprawls Kirstenbosch - widely considered to be the most beautiful public gardens on earth. Home to more than 8 600 indigenous plant species, some 5 800 of which are found nowhere else in the world, Kirstenbosch’s splendorous beauty shows why Cape Town counts as one of the six Floral Kingdoms of the world.
Winelands
Nestled amidst rolling, picturesque valleys featuring Cape Dutch homesteads, the winelands of the Cape have been described as the most beautiful and scenic in the world. Today, the Cape’s vineyards produce an extensive variety of cultivars that are blended and matured to create award-winning red and white wines that have earned their place amongst the world’s best.
Cape Point Nature Reserve
Marking the southern extremity of the Cape Peninsula where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet, it’s not hard to imagine that Cape Point offers views that are unrivalled anywhere in the world.
