Rich in cultural and natural heritage this is one of the top tourist destinations in South Africa and includes the famous Cape Point. Due to the variety of wildlife that occurs here it is the only section of the Table Mountain National Park that is fenced and visitors should look out for Eland, Red Hartebeest, Bontebok and Zebra.

Cape Point offers visitors excellent viewing opportunities from the two lighthouses that adorn the point – one still functional, the other with informative interpretive signage that traces the cultural and natural history of the Point. The lighthouse is accessible by foot or you can catch the Flying Dutchman Funicular to the top.

Cape of Good Hope: Windy Cape Point

The views from the top by the lighthouse are amazing - the very strong wind gives you that vulnerable feeling of how powerful the elements can be in this area. The walk upto the top gets your lungs pumping or there is a little train, but I think the walk definitely gives a better experience. Well worth the drive. Just a warning if you buy any sweets or snacks from the shop - the baboons can be somewhat aggressive!
