CAPE POINT –
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE NATURE RESERVE
Undoubtedly one of the Cape's
biggest attractions is the Cape of Good Hope
Nature Reserve at Cape Point. Situated at the
most southern point of the
Cape Peninsula, and flanked by the cold Atlantic
on the west and the warm
Indian Ocean on the east, it is noted for its
abundant floral diversity. The
reserve has a spectacular coastline, with Cape
Point boasting the highest sea
cliffs in South Africa. A funicular takes visitors
up to the highest vantage point
from where they can witness the meeting of the
two oceans.
TABLE MOUNTAIN –
WORLD HERITAGE SITE
Quietly presiding over
the City of Cape Town, Table Mountain has over
the
centuries become one of South Africa's best-known
landmarks. This
breathtaking sandstone plateau rising steeply
above the Cape Flats is a World Heritage Site,
as well as a nature reserve. The famous flat top
is
approximately 3 km wide, and its highest point,
Maclears Beacon rises to
1 086 m above sea-level. The summit can be reached
by trails or via the
recently refurbished cable-car. The latter boasts
a revolving floor for
panoramic viewing on your way up. From the top
you are offered magnificent
views of the most beautiful city in the world.
