When you think of Cape Town, you think of Table Mountain. Another highlight of this tour is the iconic Table Mountain, which will be our last stop. The mountain is rich in diverse wildlife, including rare species that can only be found in this area. 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.

Muizenberg is recognised for its long wide expanse of sandy beach with kid-friendly waves, colourful huts that are used as changing rooms and has the added bonus of warmer water for bathers, another opportunity for your camera to be active. Because it has a sand bottom and gentle rolling waves, perfect for beginner surfers, it is one of the reasons why it is a perfect place to learn to surf. Behind Muizenberg beach are added extras like miniature putt-putt and the super-tube (waterslide). who knows, you may spot the Humpback Brydes Whale here (January – May) or the majestic Southern Right Whales (June – December).

As we head our way towards the African Colony of Penguins, we will pass through the small town of Simon's Town, a small town compressed between mountains and the sea 35km outside Cape Town but, full of rich history. Your guide will give a brief history of the town and we tell you stories of many interesting things that you will be seeing such as the Just Nuisance.
Simon’s Town is named after Simon van der Stel, the Dutch governor of the Cape Colony in the late 17th century. The town was established as a naval base by the British in the early 19th century and has been an important part of South Africa’s naval history ever since. The town’s historical significance is evident in its many well-preserved buildings and landmarks, including the Simon’s Town Museum and the South African Naval Museum.
