Top 10 ( Cape Town)

1- Table Mountain: Hike or Cable Car

Table Mountain: a landmark synonymous with South Africa, not only Cape Town. A once in a lifetime experience for not only tourists, but all South Africans. Most enjoy a trip up in the cable car, but for the adventurists out there, a hiking trail is also an option. You can book online for the cable car, but we do suggest checking the weather as this can influence the operations of the cable car. Tip: it’s free on your birthday (bring along your ID or driver's license)

2- Cape Point Nature Reserve

Typically, the ‘Cape Of Good Hope’ gate opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. There are few sights as spectacular as the sun rising over False Bay, and we highly recommend making the extra effort to get there at opening time to witness this event. This spectacular reserve boasts out of these world views of both sea and fynbos. It is paid entrance, but worth every penny. The Flying Dutchman Funicular available at the reserve, also known as the Cape Point Funicular, is a funicular railway located at Cape Point. It’s the only commercial funicular of its type in Africa, and takes its name from the local legend of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship.

3- Boulders Beach
