Enjoy one boundless beauty
Cape Town, South Africa’s most beautiful city - nestled against the splendour of Table Mountain is a paradise for the visitor. The Southern coast of Africa and the incomparable Garden Route offer some of the most outstanding scenery to be found anywhere in the world - from the top of Table Mountain by revolving cable car to the mythical meeting place of two great oceans at Cape Point. The coastline is a breathtaking scenic beauty contrast with the harsh rugged conditions of the most South-westerly edge of the African continent. It is a region of majestic mountains; beautiful valleys; wide, sandy beaches; and breathtaking scenery, making it one of the South Africa’s prime destinations.
At the tip of the Cape Peninsula you will find Cape Point within the Cape Peninsula National Park. The treacherous cliffs forming the most southwestern tip of Africa are some of the highest in the world and mark the spot where the cold Beguela current on the West coast and the warm Agulhus current on the East coast merge. At Cape Point, part of the Cape Peninsula National Park, there are many drives, walks, picnic spots and a licensed restaurant. Care has been taken to protect the environmental integrity of this 7 750-ha reserve of indigenous flora and fauna.
