Stand on the grassy crest of Signal Hill as Atlantic wind fingers through your hair and the city sprawls below. A pilot clips you into a bright harness, checks the lines, and the hillside seems to lean forward. A steady run, a lift in your chest, and the world opens: Table Mountain looms to the east, the Twelve Apostles ridge slides by, and Sea Point’s promenade unfurls beneath like a stitched ribbon.
