The mountain forms part of Table Mountain National Park which is globally recognised for its biodiversity with its truly unique and incredibly beautiful fauna and flora.
At the upper cable station, you will find a network of footpaths to explore the table top. Get your camera ready, though. The views are simply stunning all around the top of the mountain.
Table Mountain stands tall and proud as an iconic natural wonder in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. With its breathtaking views, diverse flora and fauna and historical significance, Table Mountain is perhaps best known for its flat top which, because it resembles a table top, has garnered the mountain its now famous name.
Cable car operation is also weather dependent.
Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean
Hout Bay is a beautiful heavily wooded Valley behind Table Mountain which became the main source of timber for the building and repairs of ships and also for buildings such as the Castle of Good Hope. Protective Mountains and a good fishing area surround Hout Bay. The fishing village of Hout Bay was probably established in about 1867 when a German immigrant, Jacob Trautmann, began to Farm and fish in the Area. Its name dates back to 1653 and relates to the quantity of excellent timber that early Dutch settlers found to be growing in its ravines. It is also known as the "Republic of Hout Bay and has a President and Passport! (This a Tourism Ploy, organized by the Local Rotarian Residents!)
They are also famous for the "Fish and Chips" in the Harbour Area!

Cape Point Nature Reserve forms part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a popular part of the Table Mountain National Park. This region is home to some 250 bird species, including gulls, eagles, Cape sugarbirds, and sunbirds as well as the endangered African black oystercatchers.
If you’re lucky you can spot a variety of antelope such as klipspringer, steenbok, eland, and the Cape mountain zebra. In the rock pools, Cape clawless otters can be found, and let’s not forget the well-known chacma baboons. Lesser spotted animals are caracal and the small-spotted genet. Reptiles and amphibians are also abundant - look out for the very rare Table Mountain ghost frog or Cape chirping frog.
The Point has been treated with respect by sailors since it was first sighted by Dias in 1488. By day, it was a landmark of great navigational value until the introduction of radar. By night, and in fog, it was a menace beset by violent
storms and dangerous rocks that over centuries littered shipwrecks around the coastline.
In 1959, the first lighthouse was completed; it stands at 238 meters above sea level on the highest section of the peak and is now used as the centralized monitoring point for all lighthouses on the coast of South Africa.
Cape Point is in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve within Table Mountain National Park, which forms part of the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site.

Named by Portugal’s King John II, this area has captured the imagination of European sailors such as Dias who first named it the Cape of Storms in 1488, and later in 1580 Sir Francis Drake who called it “The Fairest Cape in all the World”.
This area is rich in cultural and natural heritage. This is one of the top tourist destinations in South Africa.
