History
Table Mountain’s sandstone plateau predates modern South Africa and was a navigational landmark for indigenous Khoikhoi communities and early European sailors; the Cape Winelands grew around Dutch settlement in the 17th century.
Conservation
Tourism puts pressure on water use and fynbos habitat; support estates practicing sustainable viticulture and stick to marked paths on the mountain to protect fragile vegetation.
