You step into a polished Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter and the city slides away—Table Mountain shrinking in your rearview, the air turning saltier with every kilometer. The guide's voice is confident without hurry, sketching the day's arc: Bo‑Kaap's painted houses, the Atlantic's ribbon along Chapman’s Peak, the cheeky penguins of Boulders, and that raw promontory where land finally gives up to ocean at the Cape of Good Hope.
