The unsurpassed beauty has made Cape Town's breathtaking scenery
world-renowned. From all points within Cape Town one gets the view of the face
of Table Mountain while on the other side the cliffs give way
to stretches of brilliant white sand and endless rugged coastline. Driving
southwards, past the famous Constantia winelands, the scenery reveals lush valleys against towering mountain backdrops.
Standing on Cape Point, the southern end of the Peninsula where the backbone of the
mountains drops away into the sea, it is easy to understand why the famous
explorer, Sir Francis Drake, termed it "The Fairest Cape"
From the Tygerberg hills to the north-east of Cape Town,
one can enjoy a panoramic view of Table Bay with mountains and sea, while
from the top of Sir Lowry's Pass the sweeping views
of the False Bay coast leaves one breathless. From the
valley of Somerset West, the classic proportions of the Helderberg mountain
forms an awesome backdrop to the many wine farms and golf courses. The drive
from Gordon's Bay to Cape Hangklip is spectacular in its rugged, natural
beauty of sheer rock face on your left and deep ocean on your right.
Up
the coast to the north the countryside changes into a rugged, semi-arid
region which comes alive in a rainbow of colour with the floral beauty of
the spring flowers. A visit to Cape Town would
not be complete without a boat ride to Robben Island, the place steeped in a
sordid history of incarceration spanning centuries. It is on
this island that world renown Nelson Mandela and many others served their
prison terms.
Cape Town offers a multitude of leisure activities to suit everyone, from the
ultra fit
to the more sedate. Reaching the top of Table Mountain offers a choice: take
the easy way up via the cableway, or, if you're feeling somewhat more
energetic, one of the hundreds of pathways that lead to the summit.
Exploring the abundance of the Cape's unique fauna and flora is a must, with
superb walks and climbs to choose from in the numerous
Nature Reserves, Forests, the
Cape of Good Hope and Kalk Bay caves. Soak up the sun on secluded
Clifton Beach
and palm-fringed Camps Bay's
white sands, or frolic in the warm waters of Muizenberg and Gordon's Bay.
If it's adventure you want you can try kloofing, paragliding
from Lion's Head as the sea breezes lift you high over the city center, or
even abseiling off Table Mountain.
