The day begins before the city wakes: your guide meets you at dawn and the van slips out of Cape Town, the mountain’s flat head already catching light. The road climbs and falls like a story—Table Mountain’s sandstone edges giving way to cliffs that dare the ocean to come closer. By midmorning you’re perched on Chapman's Peak, wind shaping the coastline into a hard, cinematic curve; the sea below refuses to be calm.
