Catch a cable car uP Table Mountain…then abseil back down. If you fancy following a rope 112 meters down Table Mountain), then Abseil Africa is your best bet. The less adventurous can catch the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway up… and back down.

A Robben Island tour is a must when you’re visiting Cape Town. It’s a fascinating half-day trip to the former penal colony where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his life.

Rugged rocks and sheer cliffs towering more than 200 metres above the sea and cutting deep into the ocean provide a spectacular background for the Parks’ rich bio-diversity. Cape Point falls within the southern section of Table Mountain National Park. The natural vegetation of the area, fynbos, comprises the smallest but richest of the world’s six floral kingdoms. The scenic beauty of Cape Point is not its sole allure; it is also an international icon of great historical interest with many a visitor drawn to the area because of its rich maritime history.
