Highlights
Hike to the summit of Table Mountain, one of the world's most iconic landmarks and one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of Nature. Beyond its breathtaking views, the mountain is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity. Discover the unique fynbos vegetation of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest yet richest of the world's six floral kingdoms. This remarkable ecosystem is home to a dazzling variety of endemic plants, including proteas, ericas, and restios found nowhere else on Earth. Keep an eye out for the elusive Table Mountain Ghost Frog, a rare species endemic to the mountain's streams and seeps. Along the way, you'll also pass the remains of the original cableway infrastructure, a reminder of Table Mountain's rich history. One of the highlights is the famous Diving Board, a dramatic rock outcrop that extends over the mountainside and offers unforgettable photo opportunities for those comfortable with heights.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
