Morning light slices across Table Mountain as the tour vehicle threads through Cape Town’s streets, the Atlantic rolling like a wide, impatient crowd along the seaward flank. Guides pause at Coen Steytler Roundabout to set the scene—city sculptures, the Castle of Good Hope—before ascending by cable car or coastal road to the plateau where wind and weather give the mountain a voice.
