TABLE MOUNTAIN – WORLD HERITAGE SITE

Quietly presiding over the City of Cape Town, Table Mountain is 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 spans approximately 3 km, 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.

THE V&A WATERFONT CRUISE

Steeped in a romantic history of the early days of sail when Cape Town was the ‘tavern of the seas’, the V&A Waterfront is the most visited attraction in Cape Town. Contributing to its charm is the fact that it is a busy commercial harbour which just happens to be surrounded by a huge, authentically styled entertainment venue with pubs, restaurants, speciality shops, craft markets, theatres and cinemas. A guided 25-minute cruise of the Waterfront also brings one up close to the Cape fur seals that abound in the harbour and live off fish scraps from the trawlers. Here’s a photo opportunity not to be missed!
