More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the helipad with the harbor wind driving salt across your face; the helicopter rotors begin to chop the air and the city folds away beneath you. Table Mountain, squat and uncompromising, pushes the clouds off its edges as you arc along the Atlantic coast. From the air, Cape Town reads like a geography lesson made cinematic — white beaches, serrated cliffs, and the two oceans that seemed, for centuries, to confront one another at the peninsula’s tip.
