More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A salt-slick wind pushes across the Atlantic as the private vehicle leaves the city, and Cape Town opens like a map of contrasts — flat-topped Table Mountain watching over glittering bays, rugged headlands plunging into cold surf. The day moves deliberately: a brief walk through Bo-Kaap’s painted streets, the cable car ascent to Table Mountain’s plateau (tickets not included), then the cinematic sweep of Chapman’s Peak Drive.
