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.

BLOUBERG BEACH – PLACE OF HISTORY AND SCENERY

Possibly the most famous, fabulous and photographed views of Table Mountain are the ones afforded from Blouberg Beach. Blouberg forms part of the city’s burgeoning West Coast suburbs and is situated approximately 20 km from Cape Town, up the West Coast on the opposite side of the bay. In the early 19th century, Blouberg was the scene of the famous ‘Battle of Blaauwberg’ when the British seized the recently acquired French colony in reaction to the Napoleonic Wars.
