Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens:
Are world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape flora it displays and for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Founded in 1913 the estate covers 528 hectares with 36 of them cultivated in only indigenous South African plants. A peaceful tranquil place to spend a few hours there is also an informative visitor’s centre, various retail outlets, a coffee shop and restaurants.
Table Mountain Cableway:
First opened in 1929 the Table Mountain Cableway has subsequently had three upgrades with the latest in 1997. To date upwards of 18 million passengers have been transported to the summit. The current cable car was imported from Switzerland and there are only 2 other such cable cars in the world, one in Titlis in the Swiss Alps in Switzerland, and one in Palm Springs in America. During the 5 to 10 minute journey, each way to the summit of Table Mountain at 1085 meters the cable car floor rotates giving everyone a 360-degree view of Cape Town and Table Bay. Once on top, there is over 2 km of pathways leading you to views over Cape Town, Table Bay, Robben Island, the Cape Flats and the Cape Peninsula. The dassie (or Rock Hyrax) is anatomically the closest living relative of the elephant and a close encounter with these furry creatures is almost guaranteed!

- A return boat trip across Table Bay
- A visit to the infamous Maximum Security Prison

The Cape of Good Hope
So named by Portugal's King John II this area has captured the imagination of European sailors such as Dias who first named it the Cape of Storms in 1488 and later in 1580 Sir Francis Drake who called it the "The Fairest Cape in all the World". Rich in cultural and natural heritage this is one of the top tourist destinations in South Africa and includes the famous Cape Point. En-route to the Cape Point, and once in the reserve, look out for Eland, Red Hartebeest, Bontebok and Zebra.
