The morning opens on a Cape Town street as your guide slides the van door open and the city slips behind you. Light climbs the face of Table Mountain and the cable car hums like an invitation; at the top the wind shapes the view and the cliffs dare you to look farther. Later, paths through Kirstenbosch unfurl under a canopy of proteas and restio, and the day closes with vineyard rows sloping toward the Constantia valley where oak trees shade cellar doors.
