Hard to visit the iconic city of Cap Town without a stop at Table Mountain!
The country’s most photographed attraction is much more than a scenic photograph background or a place from where you can take a breathtaking photo of Cape Town. With about 2,200 species of plants and 1470 floral species, many of theme endemic to this mountain, it is one of the richest floral regions in the world.

It is also home of this cuty pie! And believe it or not, the table mountain Dassies are the closest relation to african elephants! Wait what? well, despite the enormous difference in size between the two, research has claimed the dassie is the African elephant’s closest living relative.

But let's go back to why we are here, because Table mountain IS the best place to take pictures! Especially at Sunset.

How to?
You can access Table Mountain through many hiking paths or using the cable car.
I recommend you to book your ticket on line (even if it's 10 minutes before) so you don't spend hours waiting.
