More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You hop into a retro kombi and the city opens like a map beneath Table Mountain: bright rooftops, weathered murals, and the ocean's edge glinting toward the horizon. The first stop is Bo-Kaap, where steep cobbled streets and candy‑colored houses mark the living history of Cape Malay families; the air carries spices and the crisp snap of a freshly fried samosa.
